    • @Bigwaterfishing
      @Bigwaterfishing 3 дні тому

      My opinion would be that those systems are better for slow fishing. When you go 3mph you make a 2 or 3 oz Wright a top water. When fishing faster check out our summer videos on dipsys and leadcore fishing. Better delivery systems if you are fishing fast. 3mph is pretty fast for cranks too....get past 2.6 and things change imo

      @@Bigwaterfishing ok thanks for response, i run inline weights all the time with good results, i dislike dipsey because of trippimg issues and they always get tangled for us. i have used lead, but my preference is the inline weight, gives the lures a bit of a different action, more aggressive wobble which usually works better for me. I usually use about a rod length leader
