Lol @ wreaking shrimp...not much smells worse. Btw slider is the only way to go 1.Gives fisherman better chance of detecting strike. 2. Fish doesn't feel weight of lead 3. Lead doesn't have to drift past fish before you can detect strike,which means you have a longer time to react to bite. 4. sliding lead takes slack out of line to detect strikes. I rarely use fixed lead and that is only for specialized drifting.
