Anyone Used Lure "veins" Before??

[bushranger7]

G'day guys, 

 

Forgive my ignorance but I was talking to an older bloke at Eildon pub after a long day on the dam last weekend and he said he uses "VEINS" or "VANES" to get his lures (Tassie Devils) down a bit deeper in the water. 

I've never seen or heard of these and have tried YouTubing them with no success. Apparently, they are a triangle shaped keel type thing used between the braid and mono leader that pulls non-bibbed lures down to a pre-set depth. Some are fixed depth while others are adjustable. 

 

Can anyone shed any light on them, where to buy them, if they can be made at home or ANYTHING.... I'm now hooked on this little unicorn!

Commonly known as "paravanes".

Yes we use paravanes for mackerel up in Moreton Bay. They work really well. Cheap and easy to use. 

These ones are awesome. They work as a fish attractant too.
