i like my bait to quiver down there and not move around much. ill start with a lively bait, then after a while will break its tail so that it swims awkward, then later slide a small weight right down to th hook eye to slow it down more. another thing i might do is put the hook thru the side of the bait so that with the weight right on the hook the bait spends a lot of time trying to right itself. when your out with a big group and nothings happening it pays to do different things unless you see good catches with the standard setup. are you looking for the shark weight web site, i bought 2 on ebay in december

they look nice, but not 70 dollar nice. im hoping they really do run straight down like they say so i wont have any problems with the other weights tangling up with them. bought one for me and the other for dads birthday.

Oops, I see you put the web site on your reply, thanks. Looks like my hybernation is over, starting to think about buying stuff, might even go to a fishing show ??????????
