Thanks for sharing this one with us.... I'm also finding the discussion on the snap weights really interesting... I've never tried them, I've always either let out way more line than I should or used lead core or down riggers, but after the discussions the last few years showing how much the fish avoid the boats, I think your longer line set backs is a great idea.... How do you get the weights off the line and keep reeling in the fish? Guess I need to pull up a Youtube video and learn how this process works... Fun report, thanks... J
Jeff, have you ever used side planners, snap weight are just like that, just push the clip together and it releases the line, then you keep reeling your line in. Also similar to the release on a down rigger.
I've also used banana type weights, that remain on your line, about 5 ft up from your lure.
