Dipsy vs jets

[branhamautomotive]

My only dislike for weights and tadpoles is when fishing near the bottom, it easy on a turn to slow down and run it in into to bottom, nor there is grass, shells, worm gone.

I have and tried tadpole behind my small boards and had this happen often, when I run jets I don't get this. I also don't shuffle my boards, so if a middle board comes in it goes back to middle by letting straight out the back then letting it pull up into slot. And doing this will almost 100% put my bait on the bottom b4 the board pulls up.

True on that when close to the bottom everything down there will take a bite of your worm. I just take long turns and stay up in the water column mostly. I have had my share of troubles with dispys too though when it comes to grass. especially when the surface it covered with them and they run down your line. Have you ever reeled in your dipsey only to find it has been winding up your line? I've had some crazy looking springs/ bird nests a time or two. lol There is good and bad with all of them that's for sure.
