Getting More Out Of Your Gagits,gizmos And Stuff

[Trout Dawg]

I've been using Loon's Deep Soft Weight for better than two years now.

It stays in place better than any pinch on weights I've ever used and makes changing weight as simple as it can get.

When I'm in an enviroment where I might be changing the amount of weight alot, I'll stick a wad to the butt of my rod just above the handle.

That way I can add or subtract to the amount I'm using without ever opening a box or fumbling with pinch weights.

The material is temperture sensitive so in the winter keeping a ready supply on the rod doesn't work as well.

Still I prefer way over split shot and the product contains no lead.

Troutdawg,

I have been using Deep Soft for about 8+ years now. I keep a chunk of it on my top right zipper on my vest, you have got to watch it in the heat of the summer because it may start to soften up too much. Also when it is too soft, dip you fingers in the cool water before using it to keep it foem sticking to your fingers. Then in the cold winter I keep it inside my wader to keep moldable.

FYI: a canister is only good for about one year, then the consistancy breaks down.

Later,
