Welcome to BassResource @Worm Man 2020 It sounds like you're describing a fastach weight. If so, here is a video with some info on rigging. 2 Quote

Really appreciate your video I've bought from TV years ago now I know how to use them..... You're welcome. We are neighbors. Congratulations on the boat. The Potomac above DC is not easy to navigate in a prop driven boat, unless you know the river extremely well. Lot's of rocks, shallow areas, etc. There are many stretches where you just can't run anything but a jet boat. Good starting places would be Big Slackwater which is maybe 30 miles or so from Frederick and safe for your boat, and the tidal Potomac down my way. Big Slackwater has about 7 miles of deeper channel that you can run up (it gets shallower once you get to the gun club.) I run my glass boat up there several times per year. The tidal Potomac is also safe for your boat, and quite a bit more diverse as far as fish species go. I fish the stretch in DC several times per week. I don't fish the reservoirs much in Maryland due to electric only restrictions. Make sure you get all of your safety gear in order and take a boater safety course before you get on the water. I also highly advise getting a comfortable life jacket that you will be likely to wear 100% of the time. I like inflatables, but a conventional style is nice in colder weather. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to be safe out there. I promised my wife that I would wear my life jacket full time, and did... then months later I had an accident in cold water. I wouldn't be here today had it not been for the life jacket, and I can swim very well. Not trying to be a buzz kill, but I just want to share my experiences. I've found that having respect for the water and responsibility in boating is plenty, the rest is all fun. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. 1 Quote
Worm Man 2020 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 People like you and others on this site is why I wanted to join. Real people and I will fine out what PM means later, That used to mean in the evening, lmao..... New to internet, but kids will be glad to show me how they know so much more then their Daddy,,, Everything you typed rang True.. Got all the stuff, just "0" experience.. That's why I run that little electric motor and trying to get presentation and right line, weights, rigging... you sure know what your talking about. I salute you, sir. Thanks again. Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks. That's why I joined too. Great community here. By PM I meant 'private message.' You can message people by hovering your mouse pointer over their name on the left. A box will pop up and you'll see a little icon on the bottom left that says Message (if you're using a regular computer that is. I'm not sure how it works on a mobile device, but probably similar.) Sounds like you're all set for the new year. There's only one way to gain that experience, and there's no substitute for time on the water when it comes to learning how to improve your fishing. Quote
