jewgaffer Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi Wannafish. I used 10lb bombs for trolling and 8lb for fast running rivers at anchor. Cheers jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VA911 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I also use 10lb weights very overkill but they track great dropback depends on bait but 5 meters is usuall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretsch Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I also use 10lb weights very overkill but they track great dropback depends on bait but 5 meters is usuall I agree.. ours is 10lb and works a treat especially in 25-30m of water when the bomb is down deep.
