DINOBOY Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Bored in front of the telly so decided to knock up some safety lanyards for the shark gear. 50mm s/s krabs tied in to 4mm 550lb parachute cord. These cost me less than £1.50 a pop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I do similar. There is someone on Facebook charging stupid money for these, it’s got a spliced end, so what.... Same with shark rigs, crazy money for something so simple.... 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit boring making rigs, maybe that is why some people charge £25 for one when it costs £3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 @DINOBOY, I reckon you could have a little side-hustle there. Got to be worth, what, a fiver a pop for those who don't have the time or inclination to do it themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
