Just picture fishing with that rig;
OK, casting just a sinker, you get a sweet 100 yd cast out into some rock pile, then you let your herring run about as it wants, and IF it doesn't wrap around and knot you halfway down your line and you get a hit by a nice bass, your troubles have just started. For starters, you can't put any leverage on a fish that's hit your live bucky 100 feet from shore when your line is another 100 feet past. The fish is pulling line both from you (but you can't apply even enough pressure for a hook set) and the line to the sinker. Now the sinker, getting carried all over the place as your fish, that you cannot apply any pressure to or set up on, has plenty of obstacles and structure to get caught up on...
Would you like me to continue with the holes in that plan?? That's what I came up with in the entire 20 seconds I decided to dedicate to that absurd method of fishing. I wonder what I can think of if I put a couple minutes into it...
It MIGHT work if you're just fishing 30 feet of line but then you should really be fishing normally. AND, if this were such a great method, why don't people use it?
