    My depth of water was 40 to 45 ft balls were down to within 5 to 7 ft of bottom adjusted to fish i marked. I let out 150 ft of lina attach to release and semd it down. Then you have releases to pick pads or chamberlins also blacks i like blacks both of these styles can be set to release at slightest hit.they are Easy to adjust blacks are easiest to me. I would use 8lb ball also. 10lb if going deeper than 50ft but see what rigger mfg recomends you don't wanna break it lol. . Nothin to rigger fishing to easy.

    You have to be smart enough to set up the riggers or dipsys lol jk just sayin. They both catch fish they both give you more lines out of the way of others.
