using weights snap or inline to get crank baits down

[branhamautomotive]

There are many methods to use weights. There are snap clips, like those offered from offshore. The good is they just clip on and off, but the clips are really cheap at 12 buck or so a pair. The bad is the cost, especially if dropped overboard, they can slip on braid. I think cables and bass pro have a house brand system and clips that do the a similar function for less than an offshore snap weight kit.

Snakebite makes another version of clip, I have never used or know the cost, but it's going to be a few dollars each and drop them and there it goes.

The rubber bands work well even with braids, just wrap the line around your hand a few times and a simple loop knot and your good to go. The bad is you have to break or cut it off, I prefer to cut cause it does jar the line......just don't cut the line....if dropped it's just a few cents for the sinker and a bag of bands is only a few bucks for more than a year of fishing for most ppl.
