On a recent trip my wife commented on the fact that I had very similer baits on two rods. I told her that one was weighted and the other was set up without a weight for a slower fall.
My question is; Am I the only one who might have two rods with exactly the same bait on two different rods on the deck at the same time? With weights of different sizes, or none at all?
Thanks ahead of time

your not alone!!i would much rather fish a lighter weight when fishing plastics, but depending on wind and current i often need a heavier weight. and i hate to stop and rig up every time conditions change. now ya know that there's at least 2 of us

I use a zoom superhog, on four rods all under different weights
Nope you not alone...I have one set up weight less and 2 set up with different size bullet weights.

No you are not alone. though I dont agree lighter is usually better. I find when the bite is tough I can go to a heavy weight with a fast fall and trigger a reaction bite alot of time.Quess thats why i have 4 rigged from weightless to 1oz.
No your not alone. There has been times when i would have 3 rods,same bait,one with a bullet,one with no weight, and one with a split shot placed a few inches above the bait.I would use the three until i found the best one for that day on the water.

Not alone. A person would be foolish to think that one certain weight would work for most conditions. I use several different weights per day, depending on depth, current, wind, distance, etc.
