Default Re: Downrigger weights. What to use?

Ball type DR weights will scope out a lot easier than slim fish shaped weights .
I've always preferred the style that u can tail bend to allow them to swim out away from boat !
In the ocean ball weights are virtually useless for any high speedi
due to currents & speed !
If slow trolling u can run specific baits off riggers but again UR standard releases may not be up to task ! Use RB !
