Hey guys,
Was just curious what you guys use to protect your knots!
Plastic, glass or team cat bumpers?
I was thinking about buying the Tea Catfush weight sliders, just to try them out=--
Thanks!

I use the different colored beads from the craft section at Wally world- And they are purty-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Plastic beads and you can make those drifting weights really easily. YouTube will tell you how.

Santee Cooper rig will helicopter spin thus won't cast very far, it's OK from a boat but you'll be frustrated from the bank. Three-way rig cast much further and you tie bank or disc sinkers at bottom, don't need beads. I use these three way swivels they come with two beads built-in and won't cut your lines 3 way barrel swivels that won't cut your lines

Why do I go fishing? To catch a box of fish and/or some quality time under the sun. Thank Heaven I never fail fishing in Texas, catching box fish or plenty of sunburn.

Plastic beads are softer than lead? +1 The plastic beads have a sharp edge and are 10 times harder than lead! If i had to go with something it wouls definately be rubber.
