Is there a particular weight you like to use? I fish a lot of ponds with thick vegetation is there a weight shape that works better than others? Can you skip a free rig?

Lastly what bait would would you start with?

I prefer a 4 pound lead weight on a “free rig”.

Small Halibut, Cod, Salmon and Arctic Grayling are money for baits.

Good luck! Oh, tear drop or hanging roids weights work best for punching grass.

You guys are brutal.

If you truly want the very best free rig weights look for the ones made from Unobtainium but they're pricey.

You must be new to fishing....not many choices for what you are asking.

Actually it isn't free,....we the taxpayers are having money stolen from us by the Democraps to support the illegal ailens they keep bringing to America.
