We were using regular egg sinkers. I’d prefer to fish from the front of the boat because it is much easier to turn and go right back over a spot, provided the baits are running relatively vertical. I think we will just tie the crankbaits back on and go to the back though. We were trying to pick up a better ratio of keepers but we still caught about the same number of keeper fish with maybe a just little bit less short fish.

Thanks for the tip, though. I may look around and see what’s out there.
