Skywalker and others:

Been doing the slinky bit for over 14 yrs., the following will give you an example of why I use them....

Rivers were the Hoh and the Satsop....

Driftboat

Both rigged the same way, level wind, 12# line, etc.

Pardner----100% lead, me 100% slinky's

Hoh---Slinky's lost during day----3
Lead------------------------18

Satsop--Slinky's------------------2
Lead----------------------11

I have stayed with slinky's for MOST of my fishing but not all.....
