Trolling Setup Recommendations

[Bduck]

I use mostly 8lb weights and have a couple of 10lbers but they don't get used much. Cannon ball, fish style weights have a lot of blow back, pancake weights have less and all track well in upper water column. When downrigging near the bottom I like to use stick weights as they don't have a strong blowback and I never have lost one dragging across bottom. Bear Lake has 2 of my cannon balls from hanging up on bottom. I have lost fish style weights in Flaming Gorge, E Canyon. There is a purpose for the different weight styles but also what the individual likes to use. I know some guys that only use stick weights as all purpose which is fine also, I have in some cases.
