Ok, my order came last week, but was a bit too busy writing about those toothy critters that I love to chase in the fall.
I have a good buddy up on Saginaw Bay who first told me of these trolling weights, and I will be one of the first to say I was a bit skeptical. I have gear already for trolling harnesses, ok I have been accused of having too much STUFF, but is there really such a thing? Don’t think so!!!!! Because I have a lot of gear, doesn’t mean I do not like to shop smartly. One of the things that turned me off was the price; $7.99 for a two or three pack of trolling weights seemed like a bit much. Frank’s carries them for a dollar less up in Linwood, not sure how they managed that, but for the locals it works. Anyhoo, I held off throughout the summer.
I mentioned the sale a few weeks back, after-season reduction, now only $5.19 a pack. They come in 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 oz weights. I opted for the 1 and 2 oz weights. The thinking here is that the 1 oz would be good for the early spring bite in shallow water and later for suspended fish over deep. The 2 oz ones will be better for later in the year while fishing 30 fow plus. I still might pick up some of the 1/2 oz for spring, but will definitely pick up some of the 3 oz for low lieing eyes in deep water.
This was a catalog sale, if anyone needs the catalog code and order info, just click on ” Mason” and email me for additional info. You can see what they look like on the website, Bass Pro Keel weights . They are also on sale on the website. Good time to gear up for next spring and summer walleye fishing.
