Lead or Tungsten

I don't peg the weight with a sliding T-rig, the weight slides down the line away from the lighter soft plastic as both fall down through the water column. When you start the retrieve the weight can be separate, the floating soft plastic a few inches away. If a bass strikes when the weight is separated the line moves freely improving strike detection. The weight and soft plastic are together when pulled pulled forward or with no slack line.

Ya ever try that in a swimming pool or real clear water with scuba gear on...I have & the separation 14-18" on the fall with a 1/4 oz weight.

The instant you apply pressure to start the retrieve that gape slams shut.

Unless you're stroking up off the bottom that distance does not reappear.
