PRIOR TO going with the 50-50 method I was running weights clipped on a slider much closer to the lure (about 6ft. leader length). So slider on braided mainline (weight on slider snap), then swivel, leader, dodger, lure. It gave some fish like kokes a mechanical advantage to spit the hook with all that weight swinging around. The dodger is already giving them too much of a chance. Although my previous method works pretty good too and allows you to easily switch weights... I think 50-50 will help improve the hookup to landing ratio!OK, that makes sense, i agree the 50/50 method is much better, the only problem being the few seconds you have to pause, to take the weight off. Have you ever tried using lead core line? Before I ever got down riggers or learned about the 50/50 method I used lead core line.
