Yup - take a split-shot of any size (better with big Water Gremlin Bull Shot) and make it into a slip weight by opening it up, laying the shank of a bigger (3/0 or 4/0)aberdeen hook into it, and clamping it closed with a pair of pliers. Open it up, and now you can put it on above a swivel. Nedd more weight? use a bigger one. need less? use a smaller one. No re-tie required.

We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha
motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will
want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke
Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
