Joe as this thread started in English it has to continue in English, however I'm sure if you ask nicely one of the moderators will add a Maltese translation as well to the part that interests you.

I prefare to use a plastic basen to bring in the whole line. With this method the line keeps it format in a round form. Before each weight i put a piece od damp cloth, so I could place the weight on the cloth. Around the basen I attached a piece of artifical cork, so all the hooks will be fixed to it. I agree that at the end will be a bigger spinner as on this small swordfish was caught as well

Have to be carefull when bringing in the hooks as many a time a big fish attacks the lures, or a hooked fish while bringing the line in. This will unexpected pull the line out of your hands causing the hook just brought in to catch on your hands.
Using a piece of cork will save you your hands as you just let go.
Ones you get the hang of it, you can do like us and just place the lures one next to each other on the aft gunwale (poppa). Being wet out of the water they stick and stay in place. In an emergency you just let go.
good luck

Yes ramio 99.9% of the times that what i do in the excitment of the moment put them all on the bench neatly, It wouldnt be the first time that a swordfish or something big attacks the tumbrell since when they are caught and you are still moving they tend to be very good live bait ''literally''

[shanook]

u got that right Ramio, this rig the most dangerous and one has to know what he is doing beforegoing to fish for tumbrell

[LapsiBoy]

Personallu speaking, this method can be great fun because a nice ammount of fish can be caught, but once you get a nice catch...you just fill up the freezer and then why do you need more...and personally they arent the best eating fish because they have lots of blood (i know someone is going to say bleed them but it would be stupid to stay bleeding 50 600-1000gr tumbrelli , I can imagine lol) basically i store it and use it for knuz.
