It's a good thing this isn't a fly fishing thread discussing sink tip line, tippet sink rate, blah, blah, blah,.. I would have to get super drunk just to read through it.

I’ll get a case and we’ll have at it lol

Nothing wrong with that. It's 2022, do whatever you want with Ray no matter what he weighs. I brought a few 200+ lb,ers in on the old ugly stick back in the day. I just never really bragged about it.

Lol sorry but I hate ugly sticks it’s that darn clear tip strong as a bull but limp as a

I just pinch a split shot on and it goes down, nothing scientific, all that talk about sink rate just makes me dizzy.

I must confess, all of my striper and carp rods are ugly sticks. The Tiger-lite series and a Penn Slammer is a great striper combo.

I’ve done the split shot thing lots but I do prefer sink tips split shot can cause problems casting and getting that little piece of lead to stay put on your line can be troublesome

Split shot. 4lb with a treble! To much coffee is the best bait in my opinion

I put an overhand knot on the spot or at - above the tippet knot, keeps the shot in place. I just watched a video of guys lake fishing for trout using full sinking line. They were trying to get down to 12 feet and below, counting down, it was so boring I had to shut it off.
