I prefer a 1/16 but my range is 40 feet. Adding a split shot when I need a longer range. Sometimes they won’t let you get close. Believe me, they know you’re there. You also have to increase retrieve speed which sometimes they don’t want. It’s definitely a trade off. I can never catch them while chasing. I usually follow at 60 feet so not to spook till they stop and I ease up into range.
