Weighing down the bow
Has anyone added weight to there bow for better control when spiderigging.Would like to add something i could maybe take out when someone is fishing with me.I fish alone though 99% of the time and looking for options.I was thinking about sandbags,but figured i would ask here before doing anything to see if there are better ideas.

When I had my G3, I had a buddy who was an elevator mechanic. He gave me some flat elevator weights that sat on the floor. It was like part of the boat when they were in there. They added about 200 pounds and seemed to help in the wind

You can buy lead weight for boats, the surfer guys buy it to load up more weight. Would be easy to move around

A five gallon plastic bucket on each side of the bow will help some.

Find you some old tractor weights. They will lay flat and not that hard to handle
