After joining a forum recently, I noticed a thread about a useful online "shotting calculator" which appears to be no longer available:
MooPoo Fishing Calculator
I found the archived website on the "Wayback Machine" and since I'm a web developer, I decided to make one myself.
Instructions:
- Adjust the number of weights by type/size. You can do this in many ways:
Hover over the input and use your scroll wheel, click the +/- buttons, use the up/down keyboard keys or use gestures on a touch-screen device.
- As you change the number of weights, the "Total Weight" (in grams) will be updated.
- You should match the "Total Weight" to your float's shotting weight.
- You now know how many weights of which size, to use with your float.
I hope it's useful to you :)
