The metal fish are 45-pounds each and are too heavy for Christi to lift). It involves 3 lines for each paravane rig. You lower the poles by hand with one line. You tighten the pole down by hand with another line. You then lower the &#8220;fish&#8221;\u009d (metal gliders) with another line connected to a winch.<\/p>\n<p>It helps to have gloves to lift them out and to guide the line around the boat for retrieval.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"imagelink\" title=\"DSC01072 (Large).JPG\" href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/DSC01072%20(Large).JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image162\" src=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/DSC01072%20(Large).thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"DSC01072 (Large).JPG\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a class=\"imagelink\" title=\"DSC01073 (Large).JPG\" href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/DSC01073%20(Large).JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image163\" src=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/DSC01073%20(Large).thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"DSC01073 (Large).JPG\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This was our first time launching them.
