Weight mold
#11
Yep, definitely a Ford/Chevy/Dodge argument. I say the same thing but in reverse.....why use a lighter weight? I sometimes troll down at over 100' on Bear Lake and the heavier weight doesn't swing back. I have an 8lb fish weight and it swings back way too far to see in my sonar cone unless I tilt the transducer backward and I don't like to do that since then you are guessing how much line to run out on the rigger to get it close to bottom. I even troll the 12lb pancakes at Willard down 6-10' at up to 3+mph and they don't swing back appreciably. I figure, why switch weights back and forth when a 12lb pancake will do the job in any depth and speed. To each their own. Besides the ChevyFord/Dodge argument, I also at it a "why burn the ditch ever spring argument", but I digress, since that is another argument that no one will ever convince another on....! LOL

Oh, and I don't want to sell my pancake mold.......I use it to make weights to sell. I have link on the "For Sale Board" for these weights with a picture of them.
