Having been using tadpole #2 also past 3 seasons and love them.Have had very few problems with tangles.The only problem with any sinker is they sink when slow down.If fishing over Rocky, shallow water can snag bottom on inside turns,fishing close to bottom or letting board out.I just ordered some Tru trip 30 to use when using harness in shallow,rocky water .Was trolling last fall on a rocky reef in Canada and was catching a few bigger fish on bandits but was slow.Tried to put out a harness but was lucky I didn't lose it.Tried my tadpole,then 1 oz and one without any weight.If had a Tru trip,could have fished there.
