Key features

• 2 per package
• Weight: 3/4 oz
• Snag-free design intended to minimize hang-ups

Real-world use cases

In rivers and lakes with mixed bottoms, anglers use this bottom bouncer to test depths while presenting live bait or soft plastics. The 3/4 oz weight provides a steady draw that supports accurate line control when you work along drop-offs, weed lines, and shelving contours.

• Trolling live bait along weed lines or drop-offs
• Running spinner rigs for suspended targets
• Working floating jigs and crankbaits with consistent bottom contact
• Pairing with light tackle for precise depth tests

While outcomes vary with conditions, the combination of weight, geometry, and a snag-free profile offers potential benefits such as improved bottom feel and fewer interruptions from hang-ups. This accessory is designed to complement your existing setup, helping you explore new depths and presentations with a calm, controlled approach.
