I have a couple unweighted Suicks and I hate them, I always run the weighted ones. Is there a simple way to weight them and still have them run true? If not their going on ebay. Also how deep are you guys able to get the weighted ones to run? I can only get them down about 3 feet or so no matter how I bend the lip. If I bend it farther they wont run true, they kick out to the left. I am a little new to running Suicks if you couldnt tell.

Simplest and best way I've found is the Thorne Brothers weights.

yes there are plenty of ways to add weight to a suick or bobby. either wrapp solder around the first hook that sometimes helps or just behind the first hook u can drill a hole and add a 1/4 or 1/2 oz weight in it and glue it in . u can use the screw in weights those are the eisiest way to do it.....bill

dont drill

get some 1/4 or 3/8 oz rubber core sinkers
remove the rubber core..pry open, pinch around the frong hook hang.er
