I catch most of my summertime blues drifting over humps. I rarely drift in less than 20' of water because I tend to get hung up...even with slinky weights. If your getting hung up your using too much weight.

I catch most of my summertime blues drifting over humps. I rarely drift in less than 20' of water because I tend to get hung up...even with slinky weights. If your getting hung up your using too much weight. Thats interesting big10. How do you determine what weight to use 1oz to 2oz. Most of the time I drift with 2oz and I've been hung up some. I'm still learning the drift fishing thing. Any tip or tricks you or others can share?

Weight depends on depth and speed you are drifting.
Shallower = lighter
Deeper = heavier
slower drift = lighter
faster drift = heavier
I make my own slinky type weights anywhere from 3/4 oz - 3.5 oz. I can usually guess about what size weight I need but I use sinker sliders so I can quickly switch weights throughout the day if I need to.
