benton B Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 start with an 1/8oz in the lowest part of the belly and adjust from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 You didn't say whether the bait were flat or round (round will carry more ballast than flat) but I agree with Benton about the 1/8 oz. I put .10 or .11 oz in 2 1/4" flat balsa baits and the final weight is .30-.32 oz without trebles. Of course, how you finish the baits and what lips you use also makes a difference.
