Wondering if anyone has ever used them to fill with rocks, tie it off, and cable to a drowning cable. Seems like they should work. It may get torn on the way out but beats hauling in heavy steel all the time. Thanks, Wally

I do use them from time to time to drag a few out, which is why I know they aren't bulletproof. Sand bags aren't that expensive.

Sand bags aren't that expensive. I have sandbags. My issue with sandbags is tying a knot to attach a cable.. There does not seem to be enough bag to knot up. Maybe I'm putting too many rocks in it.
