by the time we had rigged and dropped our 3rd and last pot we had 4 in the first pot, about 40 minutes . . .

only one was a keeper and he was a good half inch larger than keeper

I used a Danielson pot kit from John's Sporting Goods, $40 each.
The scrap brake rotor weights worked well after we zip tied them to the center of the trap and they were free from the local gas station.
Even with the bent main pulley the Ace Line Hauler was a dream . . .

left them to soak overnight, hopefully don't get poached . . .

thanks again everyone . . .
 
Good idea using the brake rotor. I would recommend a stainless safety cable from the Ace to the rail. Those mounts are plastic after all! Don't ask how I know this :cry:
