[QUOTE="SMDave, post: 395051, member: 41"] That's a great idea... to that end, I was thinking of just putting a bullet sinker behind another bullet sinker, but having the one closest to the hook inverted so that their 'bases' would be touching. They would look somewhat like this: ----------<==||==>---HOOK **(with the <==| being the bullet weights, I know it's a little hard to illustrate with symbols haha)** That way, the total, aggregate width never exceeds the base width of the bullet weight which would still lend itself to virtually equal mat penetration I would think versus an egg sinker (where the sinker would be wider than the widest part of the bullet weight, thereby obstructing its ability to go through grass). There would be an issue of adding adequate weight though with just two identical bullet weights... Thanks for your input! [/QUOTE]
