Thread: And Yet

So you can see a lite bite better. Also on a lite bite, some say the fish feels the heavier weight and drops the bait.

cause Sat said so. LOL I THINK It's because of the pull they'll feel when they bite the minner and try to head off with it. They'll let go of it faster if they feel a pull from the main line. Heavier weight and the more they'll feel the main line where the weights at. Just a guess though

You and also see your like go slack when they come up with it. A heavier weight will keep tension on the line.

Me likey when the line goes slack!!

I've ran 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/2, 2, 3 oz sinkers, some difference in bites. If running your bottom hook at 12 foot deep with a 3/8 oz sinker at speed 1, how deep is your hook? If you run a hook at 12 foot deep with a 2 oz sinker, you'll be closer to the 12 foot depth. If running lead heads, your rig will go a little deeper than plan hooks.

You talking 1 mph??Thats pushing the heck out of em with 3/8 oz on there.
