well got one that weighs 7.46 bled. let go many shakers.2 were 3lbs. jigging a dart in 90-120ft of water. snagged about 30 herring on the bottom. outfished the trollers. a bass sized penn level wind with a 6.6 stout pole (flippen stick) with 8lb test really works good for jigging. could feel them hit it on the way down. much greater sensitve than other gear.
