The Gotco, Series 20 Sucker Rod Overshot is a small, durable Overshot for retrieving sucker rods, couplings and other items from inside tubing strings.
The Gotco Series 20 Sucker Rod Overshot is designed for short catch retrieval conditions. This tool engages the tubular portion of the fish that is too short for retrieving with a standard Overshot. |
Construction |
| The Series 20 Short Catch Sucker Rod Overshot consists of a Top Sub, Bowl, Basket Grapple and a Basket Grapple Control. The arrangement of the internal parts is slightly different from the Series 10 Overshot in that the Grapple Control is placed at the top of the tool between the Top Sub and the Basket Grapple. This will allow for the exposed portion of the fish to enter the Basket Grapple further since the Grapple is now located in the lowermost position in the Bowl. |
Assembly and Operation |
The Overshot should be dressed with the proper size and type of Grapple and related support equipment. Makeup the Overshot on the fishing string and run into the hole. When the Overshot nears the top of the fish, engage it by slowly rotating to the right while gradually lowering the Overshot over the fish.
Release any right-hand torque out of the fishing string and pull on the fish by elevating the fishing string. |
To Release from the Fish |
Bump down the full weight of fishing string. Rotate to the right while picking up slowly. The left hand wicker threads on the inner surface of the grapple will allow the grapple to unscrew from the fish.
To Release from the retrieved fish, follow this same procedure while securing the fish below the Overshot. |
