In fact, I'll be using them next week at night. But they only come out after I've determined that the fish aren't interested in wood.  |
Fish them in the last hour of the tide, unweighted
Or use an egg sinker above the swivel (peg it with a toothpick), or a Rubbercore. Rubbercores tend to come off braid pretty easily on the cast, though.
