[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 496325, member: 27803"] You read my mind on using the type of leader you use. Especially if I get hung up n deep water. I’d much rather just loose a hook. Just before I started the work on my boat I was trying something different. I replaced the egg sinker with a dragon weight then a small float between it and the bait. I was catching quite a few channel cat drifting. Never hung one up on anything. The weight slides over most things and the hook is suspended a couple inches or how ever you set it up between weight and float size. Dragon weights are a little pricey but what isn’t now a days. I learned how to make them for a fraction of the cost and they’re easy and quick to make. I’m going to try this for catfish a little longer alone with the egg weight rig since I’ll be able to put out more rods now. A trip on Amistad sounds good. Another lake I’ve wanted to fish for a long time. I appreciate the invite. There’s got to be something I need from Del Rio. [/QUOTE]
