Three way swivel near bottom presentation on front end of boat and topwater and diving cranks in the rear.
Was the three way swivel used to add weight to get the presentation deeper?
Yes Sir! Similar to the bottom bouncer but a bit more control on depth and quicker than a downrigger.
Have you ever tried using a inline banana weight or snap weights to achieve the depth you want?
Not for that presentation. The 3 way swivel allows for a certain depth off the bottom. I always feel like it’s a guessing game for the banana weight and I have a downrigger setup so haven’t tried the snap weight… would be interested to see if I could get the same results though.
With most lures it's just a matter of getting it dialed in, no matter what weight system you use to achieve the depth you want. There is a chart for using snap weights to get your presentation to a certain depth and I think there is one for banana weights but I have not seen it. A number of years ago Stan55 showed me how to use the banana weights at Jordanelle while kokanee fishing to get down to 40 ft, using a 3 oz weight put 5 ft in front of the lure. That was my first postive experience with them, so I learned there must be a chart, I just have not seen one. How much leader do you put between your lure and the weight on your three way swivel?
