Thanx for the quick responses guys...I'll be casting into heavy current. Tried it before without weight and it just wasn't cutting it.
Any preference on the size or is it (I'm Taking it) dependent on the Depth and Current you want to fish.

3/8oz is a lot.... I have used up to an ounce, that was a very special circumstance... |

Aside from a tougher time casting, why do you guys not like to use an egg sinker above the swivel?

also, try casting the eel further up current (w/o weight) and give it slack for a longer period of time. it'll swim down.
i've only really found using rubber core (1/8 or 1/4 oz) to really be effective when cross winds and trying to stay in contact with the eel are the issue, not current.
if the current is too strong to effectively drift, try an eel bob (fish it like a jig) or swim plate (cast up current, let in sink, then let it swing) to get it down.

Clogston, That's a great idea( with the weight in mouth) ! What I do is use a1/2 oz. split shot right above the eye of the hook. It works better than the rubber core and is much easier to put on and stay on while casting. I guess you could use multiple slplit shots if you needed more weight. I just need one usually for the wind or get the eel down a bit. I am going to try Clogston's method though, Thanks.
