Hey Guys I was just wondering if anyone has used hollow core lead on there line instead of split shot?I have been using hollow core instead of split shots nd havent been succesful yet, and I am wondering if it is because of the weight that I am using.I have had it set up with a 6" foam float with a 1 inch piece of hollow core lead crimped onto the line right bellow it, and then a barrel swivel with another 1" piece of lead a foot bellow that and about 4 feet down from that I have a 1/2 inch piece so that the worm will stay down. This is my first year float fishing and my friend is doing real good with it but not me so. If you can help pleasse reply back.

I am also wondering how many feet do you want bellow the float-Usually?
