Ya don't got any less than 40 fow with 6 color on...I've found that the tadpoles are good for getting a line down straight off the back and I usually run a 6 ft leader from that to the bait....has no resistance while reeling in either like a jet or dipsey although a line counter reel is a must to help guage line out for depth...I usually let them.out till hit bottom. Once and give reel a few cranks and leave it...at like 1.8 to 2.8 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they're more like a jet that doesn't float its just weight....these others are my home made version of snap weights although they only work for heavy mono ...they stayed on when I ran them off 20 lbs mono but with smaller diameter braid they come off when your fighting a fish ....just alligator clips with a piece off rubber over the teeth and the then heat shrink tube over that ..drill a hole put a smaller key ring and the weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishingking Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Nope I just clip a snap swivel on at the top of that triangle ..running through the water the resistance keeps it in place ...I've had more trouble with jets running properly than a tadpole Tyler0420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
