[QUOTE="shorthairsrus, post: 326326, member: 219"] The weight at the bottom doesnt in rocks --- the weight lodges in between in riprap. Talk to Wade at dakota tackle he sells em with the weight at the bottom - he will tell you what they work good for and what they dont. The original bottom bouncer was made with the weight in the middle for a reason. I have had enough spinner baits bass jigs and cranks to the body; never a bouncer. I have seen by taking a buddy to the hospital in Detroit Lakes - they had a paper character in which they put a x on which they took out hooks - it covered every part of the body. I always pull as much as possible towards the boat when fighting a fish and keep the rod tip low as possible for that reason. Big fish one does what they can. I bump foward with the trolling motor as much as possible to keep in a troll mode if i can. I have to laugh at the "i dont use bottom bouncers crowd" This past week i would say it was a 95% bouncer crowd on van hook. I casted my ass off for 40 years pursuing largemouth. My first reel was a shimano bait caster and i wore that thing out (i didnt get the luxury of a zebco or a spinning reel). It was fun casting but I am glad to take a break, sit on a chair and have a cold busch light. Not saying that i dont cast anymore -we bumped some smallys last weekend with chatterbaits it was fun. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I also will say that hit was probably the hardest on wife daughter. The unknowing of the outcome is the worst. Scars them for life. Glad to see the outcome was good. [/QUOTE]
