Dan, I like to use 2 oz as a standard and adjust the fb depending on the depth fishing. I fished crane creek yesterday in 4 footers, caught 4 the first 45 minutes then it got too rough. today the lake turned green and caught 6 catfish a bunch of white bass, 3 walleye. marked a ton of fish in shallow water, 14-16 but couldn't keep the bass off. deeper water 16-19 was a waste of time. going to be back out of metzgers at 6:30 and try again in the morning. hopefully the water clears up.
