dive bombs???

[mike m.]

Looking for simple way to get my various lead cores to go alittle deeper. Currently use various lead wieghts  hung by a cinged rubber band. Hang the weight on the power pro backer right before knot tieing to leadcore. Anyhow this works OK but was thinking about trying dive bombs as way to do same thing. I'm told a dive bomb can be put directly on core if want to. Supposedly will not damage core. Anyhow, any one have experience or opinions on dive bombs? There kinda pricey. Are they effective and worth it???

I've used them with success when adding to lead core...... I don't know that they're any more effective than other lead weights, but they are easy to put on/take off  the line.

Did you put them directlly on the leadcore or on the backer?

[J. Sparrow]

I always put them on the backing.......

I've been told you can put them on the core or the backing. Won't harm the core. Talked to a guy that puts divebombs at midway point of his core with good results. I figure its all about repeatablity  with no tangles once you  start hitting fish.
