I second this. The bowling ball size rocks around where I fish beat the heck out of the studs.

When I used to put them on and leave them on I could go through almost a full set in a few nights. Now that I have the 5000 series and can quickly remove them I go through about 75 to 100 studs a season. All depends on where you fish.

But I also agree with the weight being a drag.
