I may have missed this on the forum, so please excuse me. I'd do a search, but i don't know what they are called. Anyway..it's like a florida -rig weight, (with wire) but has a plastic body instead of lead. Any info would be greatly appreciated....later
will fish for fun

I believe it's produced by Reaction Innovations and is neutral in weight and was designed to protect the nose of baits like the skinny dipper from sliding the hook shank. I don't know if it's still available.
I was looking in the garage the other day and trying to move through all my wife's stuff and you'll never guess what I found ? My boat.

  • Favorite Lake or River:The Yampa River, Colorado's best smallmouth fishery. Lots of 2 - 4 pound, obese bronze bombers in this river. Connected Lakes is my favorite lake, just a group of small gravel pits, no bigger than 100 acres. No monsters, but lots of 2 - 5 pound largemouths and the odd 6 - 7.

Use parasite weights instead, they work WAY better.

Do they have a weightless model? I think that's what he was looking for.

Yeah they make plain clips and I use them on ALL my plastics! They keep baits from sliding down the hook, help your hookup rate, and help hold them on the hook. You will catch twice as many fish before you have to replace your plastic.
