Bullet weights are your secret weapon for better casting, lure presentation, and catching fish. This guide equips you to tie them on like a pro!
Why Bullet Weights Matter:
- Improved Casting: Reach those distant fish with accurate throws.
- Natural Lure Presentation: Mimic prey movement for more bites.
- Heavy Cover Penetration: Fish thick weeds and vegetation with ease.
Tying Techniques:
- Improved Clinch Knot: Simple and reliable for most situations.
- Palomar Knot: Extra strength for heavy weights or tough conditions.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Position the Weight: Closer to the lure for bottom fishing, adjust for depth control.
- Secure the Weight: Use knots or stops to prevent sliding and maintain presentation.
Pro Tips:
- Match weight size to water depth and current.
- Choose weight material for sensitivity (tungsten transmits bites well).
- Use lighter weights for clear water and natural presentation.
- Store weights properly to prevent damage and environmental harm.
