I want to learn how to BB so bad. I honestly need to apprentice under a seasoned BBer. I've had nothing but tangles and frustration with them.

don't recall for sure but I bought the pump on ebay for about $10 I think and then the pvc union cost probaby 15. So I'd say no more than $30.I'd like to do this as well. I just ordered a couple hundred hammered silver colorado's. What did it cost yu to get setup for powder coating?
I HAVE! That's the problem. I'm pretty sure I've Googled or Youtubed more ways to BB than most folks consider healthy. Yet every time I go out, bar none, I wind up with a freaking mess. Or I'm spending so much time monkeying with my depth settings I get frustrated and go back to running a plain sinker and snell. I've never, not once, found a place of consistent depth where I could just set my rods in a rod holder and go until a fish hit. I think I might just be fishing the wrong lakes.

That makes my face sad
let out and reeling in some line as depth changes is a given.
1. let out line until on bottom
2. let out a tish more line so that you are at no more than a 45 degree angle below the boat (the more vertical you stay the less snags)
3. periodically lift rod tip and set back down on bottom to make sure you are where you want to be (within a few inches of bottom)
4. Its a bottom bouncer - not a bottom dragger
"I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it." (Matthew Quigley)
I'm not sure I can actually tell when BB is bouncing as it should and not dragging on the bottom. That's fisherman error, I know.
My deal is, you let it drag long enough, and pretty soon it's laying flat on it's side and mucking up the whole works.
Basically...it's impossible to run BBs on drop-offs, right? Or humps?
