Flat fishing weight molds10/25/2023 With the 13 lb weights running 1.8 to 2.0 mph theres hardley any blow back at all. but thats just where the wind is pushing the boat. but then they both want to run alittle to the windward side of the boat. i only fish 50 to 65 ft down and have never tangled them, and havent seen them running to one side over the other except when we were trolling with a cross wind. I never really thought about cross current. The one down side of these weights is the price. The torpedo weight which not only cuts through the water better than any other weight, but has a much smaller surface area for current to push on them. They have much less surface area, and you can still bend them to track off to the side if you wish to.Ītomik makes an AWESOME cannon ball. The sheer surface area of the pancake weights will cause the water to push them in more(possibly causing crossed cables) For a boat your sized, the fish shaped cannon ball may be the way to go, especially if you decide you want to bend that tail section to plane then SLIGHTLY away from the boat. That can cause havoc for a flat weight, especially fishing as deep as we have been fishing(taking bites as far down as 200). Right now out of holland current is pushing up to 1.3mph in comparison to surface speed. Pancake and flat style cannon balls don't preform well while fishing deep, and in strong currents. In my opinion, either the fish shaped or the tradition canon ball molds are the best option.
