Bullet Weights

[fishing4fun]

I have been using the Gambler Rattlin Florida Rig Weights. I am going to switch over to tungsten. I like the Gambler with the built in rattles and the gambler goo inside the weight.

What do you recommend and how do you peg your weights?

Thanks

at a local tackle shop they seel rubber pegs that you slide into the weight between it and the line and trim to size. they work great. but i dont remember the name of the company that made them, but i think they were called peg-its.

I have not tried the gambler weights, but I like tungsten for its sensitivity and compact size but you have to be willing to pay the price (literally) and you have to be willing to lose a few. As a compromise you could go with steel weights which are cheap, dont pollute the environment, and have near the same sensitivity as tungsten at the expense of size.

As for pegging weights toothpicks in the weights pinch and weaken the line, so I usually go with a rubber band tied on to the line it, gives the a little wiggle room for the weight so there is not as much leverage for the fish to throw the hook and is easily avaliable and adjustable.

I bought these rubber stoppers that tru tungsten makes but they are like 5 dollars for 9 pieces of rubber.  Today I went to Bass Pro and purchased the Bass Pro brand sinker stops.  I think these will be perfect for holding the weight near the hook.  It was $2 and has 45 rubber pegs in a pack.

The tru tungstens stop works great,but the price?? A little steep.

As Long as your not using real low lb mono,a toothpick will work about the best.Reason I say mono is cuz you got to watch damaging it.

Most of my rods have low lb braid on them and a toothpick is all that will work most of the time.Bobber stops slide,rubber pieces slide,Even the Gambler florida rig slides and I stlll end up jamming a toothpick in those too.

Hate screw-ins because I go through a pack of plastics real fast using them

Bobber Stop, Stainless Bead, Tugston Wieght, Glass Bead Yellowish Orange and then Hook.

If you want a pegged sinker slid the bobber stop tight.

If you want rattles move your bobber stop a little.

If you want your plastic chasing the worm wieght move it up 5-6 inches.

I use this system on 1/8 to 1.5 the most important thing is instant adjustment.

Water Gremlin sinker stopper. They are a tiny split bullet sinker and you just pinch it on in front of your bullet weight and its pegged.
