benton B Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think you have to build the shallow runners with the lightest ballast weight possible. A bait with a slow rise is going to be tough to fish thru heavy cover. I want my shallow runners to pop up like a cork but have enough weight to remain stable, it's a fine line to walk.
