You got it mate... a Kon tiki . Bloody great!! send it out first thing with a 1.5 k of 200lb mono... go have your breki and then haul the b*****d back in with snapper. kingies and gurnard!

 

Edited to say you don't half get a sweat on pulling them back in... you can get battery operated winch's but the cost almost as much as the torpedo unit. Be pretty good for the old bass and bream i reccon?

I always wanted to try one with 100 feathers when the mackerel are running

We had 25 hooks baited with of squid... never had all 25 with fish on but my god it was heavy work bringing it in. Had one small kingy on that burned my hands when he decided he wasn't ready to come in. You could clean up on a mackeral or bass school.
