[QUOTE="redbug, post: 29251, member: 71"] They are used for controlled depth fishing. They use a heavy weight up to several pounds depending on speed to keep a lure at a set depth. I have used them for shad fishing in shallow water while anchored as well as trolling in 50ft of water. The way they work is they have a line release that holds your line with the lure "X" amount of feet behind the weight and when the fish hits your lure the line snaps free setting the hook and allowing you to fight the fish. Are they worth the money? if you plan on fishing this technique then yes they are worth every cent.. Wayne [/QUOTE]
