You were lured into that comment by a conehead. See its working already.

i think the photo above shows the "turbo disc", not coneheads.
I tied a few coneheads and give them a swim last season, look nice in the water but I mostly fished ED trebles. I think Macsalmo caught on some?
I tied a couple up on Veniard liner tube and managed to break the cones off - I'm not the best caster, but I think copper tubes are more robust!

No but having been to one of Frodin's demos, I'm currenty tying various versions. Once they're finished I'll try to post them on the Forum for comment or sniggers  They swim well in my bath  |

No, but my cat loves them on a long piece of fluorocarbon (minus the hook, of course) The cat did not like the bath though... |

I have bought some of the Frodin Turbo discs and you dont get a lot for your money. I am going to buy a length of brass bar and make my own (simialr ones) as I am on nights for the next 4 weeks, no point working in the best machine shop in the UK if you cant do a few foreigners. Once I have written the program and rattled a few off I will post a pic of the end result.

Maybe he was just trying to sell us his plastic tubing - who knows. Will be interested to know how they swim on brass. |

Sloggi I will be turning the cone heads out of brass not the tubes, the brass cones heads will be similar to the turbo cones but not 100% identical due to different manufacturing processes and just enough differences to get around any patent.

Good idea as they are £4.50 for ten in the shop Hopefully you'll post some photos of the finished article? |

So I've had a couple of casts with the new Frodin Turbos but have encountered a problem  The long wing wraps round the hook. Why so, it doesn't do so woth my Collie Dogs? I wonder if the marabou clogs up with the templedog (it seems to) and forms a "lump" which droops downwards and catches the hook. Any thoughts on rectifying this would be much appreciated |
