I’ve tried those weights before. Even if you wrap them they will come off after awhile. I quit using them.

I spend a lot of time in the winter getting ready for spring fishing. One of my projects is to rig a lot of double minnow rigs with different weights. I go from 1/2 ounce up to 2 ounce rigs. When I have one finished I put it in a quart storage bag by itself. After a few rigs I put all of them in a one gallon storage bag. Now if I do that with every different weight I end up with about 40 ready to go rigs. Only problem is I have one bag that is heavy, I was thinking I could make up 20 rigs with out any weight and use those weights that have the rubber tips sticking out the end. You could go from a 1 ounce rig down to 1/2 just by changing weights instead of changing the whole rig. I used some last year and it seemed to work ok. Any one else ever tried this?

We only sell the Best. Ranger, Xpress, Yamaha, Suzuki, Tohatsu.
I have rigs I tied up and tested, still testing some every now and again. Involves using duo lock snaps and inline trolling weights. I can go from 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, 1 oz etc. up to 3 oz in the matter of a few seconds. It makes it convenient to swap out weights, but I've grown partial to a sliding egg weight personally. With the ones I tied to test the weight is stationary. Will keep experimenting with them though, kind of forgot about em'.

Any particular reason why you use the sliding egg sinker instead of a fixed weight?

In my opinion when a fish bites up on the bottom hook the weight being able to slide may cause them to hold on for a millisecond longer, less resistance in my opinion over a fixed weight. Not a big issue when they bite real aggressive and put eyes in the water, but on a light bite it may give that little extra time you need to set the hook.

fishervet thanked you for this post
I was told having the sliding egg sinker as opposed to wrapped would not jerk the baits around as much in rougher/ windy conditions when the front of the boat has some bounce. Any thoughts on that??
