i used to use 75 pound mono crimped and a 4 ounce lead ball wieght....it sucked! opening closing a snap swivel at -13 is a chore....the mono never tangled and that was great but the crimps would sometimes snap the line on the toss...bloop! bye bye weight!....having the weights in another bag was just one more thing to forget in those dark painful moments before a 3 am departure!...i got sick of it and got these. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...set=ISO-8859-1
they are the cats ass....permanent...bombproof...very very fast set out and pick up...the little bungee on there keeps the "L" shaped weight on the keel when its all wrapped up..i used some green cotton commercial fishing cord.....this set up is honestly near perfect and those weights were cheap...why didn't i get to it sooner? *slaps head
