Why You Should Put On Weight -- For Fishing, That Is

[PrinceFisher]

All of the discussions of late about Lindy Riggs, bottom bouncers, MOJO weights, etc. have caused me to question what these different types of weight setups are and how they're best used.

After searching the Internet, I found a great four-part article on the ten most popular ways of rigging weight on one's line for various types of fish and for different fishing conditions and situations.

Hope you find this article as informative as I did. Here it is:

I like the site and to find out more go to [url "http://www.mojolures.com/"]www.mojolures.com[/url] and see all the weights they offer they even show how to use them.

The Mojo site does a good job on instructing anglers on how to utilize their products.

The funny thing is, I hear a lot of good things about Lindy's products, especially the Lindy Rig, but I had to search elsewhere for a clear diagram on how to use it. I believe Lindy would better serve their current and potential customers if they included a "how to" section with specific diagrams and instructions on thier Web site.

That's my $.02 at least.

The MOJO set ups is for the different types of fishing or baits you are using at the time and because of the size of the weigh will not snag as much.

Personally i try and get away with as litttle weight as possible especially fishing from shore!
