I'm still working on fat butts.... One tip I can give... It sucks losing $4 cannonballs on snags... I tried using 40lb main line to 3way swicel to 40lb sinker to 30lb flouro on the trap rig....hopijg if I snagged I'd lose the rig not the sinker.... For some reason I'd still lose the sinker lol... I tried a different approach this time. Spectra to cannonball to swivel to 30lb flouro and trap rig.... Worked good... Still got bites and didn't lose any balls.... Only bad part is when bait wraps around that spectra its a bitch to undo the mess... Either way I saved money and caught fish 😀
It helps too minimize knots to maximize your chances of taking that sweet butt home
