Tried using slinkies for a season, and I hated them. It made my drifts feel "mushy". I personally like the sharp tick of the lead core on the bottom. beer

Nice think about the lead core, is that you can keep trimming it up a little at a time for the perfect amount of weight for a particular drift. We have some real snaggy rivers, and you can count on losing 50-70 hooks in a day, plus a ton of lead. I like to crimp the lead core on a mono tag, or a real weak swivel. It saves a lot of gear. It's pure hell on our fish! evil
