Buying a new plumb bob?

scott-zelenak · 2015-01-03T02:04:00Z

Geez, I haven't had to buy a plumb bob in years.The last one I bought was this one...4.85 kilos I think.Nice.Perhaps not particularly convenient, though.But I can't remember what size I packed around for years on the belt.24 ounces?What's your vote for a useful, yet, comfortable bob weight?

I used a 14oz brass plumb bob.

When the gammon reel came into existance,I wanted to try one,but my old party chief,Ernie,would not let me try one.

I was not the best at using a plumb bob,not too steady.

Ernie would yell at me " Hold that bob steady "

I would yell back, " Take the mean of the swing "
