Egg sinkers vs. fish finder

[capt74]

A fish finder rig is just what it implies. It allows you to adjust your bait to the dept that you want. If you use an egg your bait will be at a fixed dept.

Egg sinkers fray your line.. and does not work the same as the fish finder rig.. To ensure your longer and better cast shorten up your leader then once you have reached the bottom u can let some line out..

I use egg sinkers on some bottom fishing rigs never had a problem with fraying. I use a bead between the egg and swivel to keep it from sliding and crushing the knot.
As stated you can shorten your leader for better cast control then just put it in free spool CLICKER ON if anchored.
