Hi there,
I still like my large-mouthed detergent bottle with sand or gravel and water. Initially had all sorts of problems getting it to sink right. ha ha ha I just fill the bottle 1/2 to 3/4 full and then bring the water up to the very top. The secret is to fill it so as to eliminate any air by putting the big cap on underwater.
I used to carry two 3-pound rock cod weights in my jeep to start but found I didn't usually need them most of the time.
As I fish a lot of pretty shallow areas with tides not directly effected by open ocean, I use the strongest (65 pound rated) doggie walk retractable leash to easily adjust to the tide.
