What's the difference between weighted and unweighted suicks? I currently have only a 10 in weighted suick and was wondering what the difference was. Thanks

in a weighted suick there is a weight on the bottom of the lure with the unweighted there is no weight in the belly of the bait

The weighted ones are, um, well... weighted. 3/8 oz of lead behind the first hook. They run a little deeper and are a little less buoyant, which I don't care for because I use suicks in the weeds a lot and the buoyancy let's them float up out of trouble.

Weighted Suicks are great for edges, deeper weeds, and on the stones when you need a little more water column coverage. Unweighted are super in the weeds, and properly used, will actually 'back up' when run into a weed and paused.

Get an unweighted model, and then use one of the screw-in weight systems and you have the best of both worlds.
