Great advice for all of you!
The baits that I have been doing are the D-Bait copies with a few mods to it. On the 1 3/4 length bait, I've been using Spilt shot 3/0 I put in 2 just behind the belly hanger, then I put one just in front of the belly and they are working just fine...
Now on the problem, bait is the 2 1/4 inch bait. Just behind the Belly Hanger I've put in a 1/8oz Bullet weight. Just in front of that one I've put in the 1 spilt shot 3/0. Everything seem to works great, until I get the devcon on it.
I started a bait last night that I have completed. I left the weight holes open'd. I will add my weights and everything and then see what I get... I hope this will solve my problems...lol
The ones that I have completed that sink, it's not like they weight 100 pds and sink straight to the bottom. They gradually sink... So, I'm going to keep them around and use them on Rock walls...
thanks again everyone!
