I have a few pankake lead weights and a few canonballs. Wondering what people prefer but also I have a specific problem with one of them. Now that sockeye season is here I tend to use fin/pankake weights on the side riggers and a canon ball down the middle ( keeps side cables out farther away from middle cable)
The problem is that one or more of my pankakes 'wobble' or 'snake', tracking in a S-like pattern. Anotherwords doesn't track steady in that slightly outward angle. No matter how much or how little I bend the stainless fin I just can't get one of them to track without zig zagging back and forth (in about a about 10 " width). Its possible its a bad one but also may just be a problem with the whole brand I use. I use both DELTA and GIBBS fin weights but not sure which one is tracking poorly.
Any ideas what I can do ? Anyone had this problem with certain brand of fin/pankake weights?
