Bottom Bouncers

Recommended Posts

After reading 4 hours worth of posts from the past couple of seasons, and with some great advice from Kevin Legg, I decided to pour some bottom bouncers for the upcoming season. My fishing is on the St Lawrence these days, and 3 to 4 knot currents have a way of making bottom contact a "challenge".

 

The top bb is a Bass Pro 4 oz for size comparison. My smaller one is 4" 1/2 lead filled copper tube at 8oz. Next is a 6" at a little over 10oz. I used wire from the flags like the ones  National Grid uses to mark underground power lines. Don't stress, they can be purchased at Lowes.

 

I did pour an 8 incher on a coat hanger.... hope I never have to use it! Now I need to get out the dumbells to build up the strength to use them.
