been doing this myself for twenty years.
try the stubby version, full of shot it's like casting a 4 oz bank sinker.
took this pic in the late 80's when big sand eels were all over Nauset.
Pre seals, sigh. . . . those were the days.
And everyone thought I was a closet junkie cause of the syringes laying round in a box.......... Glad to see ya found that man... I allready started loadin for next year.... We will be there more than once or twice this time...
