trouble with my carbon cedar fins, is I can't let them wear down to the timber, so every second/third session at Hardie's run requires a minor tip repair.
Not sure how it will work out, but here's the start of an attempt to stretch the time between repairs.
Of course when it does need repairing it's going to be a bigger job!!!
Any body got some spare tungsten???
Woops, sorry senior moment, labeled it in "photos" but not here.
It's stainless steel, pic doesn't really show it up.
This is why I prefer G10 and not Carbon
Da weed is abrasive
So is da sand
And da rocks
Crabs and fish can just dent da fins
G10 ya can sand
Hmmm... (thinks to self)
A bit of stainless up close to the root of the fin, sharpened, would work wonders on some craypot lines...
Be interesting to see how long yours lasts before it rusts, anyway.
Nup, that's the main problem, it doesn't wear sharp, wouldn't be so bad if it did instead it wears blunt. Means more drag and more chance of cavitation.
