I've never had any trouble catching fish with bare balls.

I thought after 80 feet down the only color that can be seen it Blue ???
What about the believer's in running coated balls is there a specific color you run in certain area's ? for certain species? for certain depths? I am sure htere are many varied opinions about this.
And I'm pretty sure they prefer the balls deep.In West Vancouver area you can do well with bare balls or pink.
I use coffee tins full of concrete, in Sooke it has to be a MJB coffee tin, everywhere else Folgers will do.
