Tough Getting Old

[MNGeorge]

Not sure where to put this but quite certain it will get moved to the appropriate forum by someone. I have a good memory, it just doesn't last very long the saying goes and I can definitely relate. Some time back, I read about and/or watched a video about an unusual modification/use of rubber core sinkers and liked the idea enough to put rubber core sinkers on my "things to order before Spring" list. The problem is I can't for the life of me remember what the deal with the sinkers was.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

I have used rubber core sinkers to add weight to wide gap hooks. I remove the rubber core and crimp the weight around the shank of the hook. Some call them belly weighted hooks.

Weighing down a spinnerbait is one use ~

Seems certain shaped weights might work halfway decent for dropshotting

As stated above, they are great drop shot weights.

 

I have used them for dropshotting.

I used to Carolina Rig a hollow body tube.  I put a piece of Styrofoam inside the tube body, and then Texas rig it with a small #2 wide gap hook right through the styrofoam and tube.  It worked well and would float high behind a big weight digging along the bottom.  I haven't done that for years, old school stuff, that just worked in grass!  Lol

I use the 1/8th ounce size to weight Strike King Mini spins  . Take the rubber out and crimp it on the hook .
