Bottom Bounce Rigging
For Cannon Ball Sinkers
Bottom bounce rigging is a fishing technique that involves using a sinker that remains close to the bottom of a water body while a baited hook is suspended above it. This method is particularly effective for targeting bottom-dwelling fish species. The rig typically consists of a sinker, a leader line, and a hook, with the sinker bouncing along the bottom as the boat drifts or is cast.
Cannonball sinkers are great for this setup for several reasons:
1. Shape and Design: The streamlined shape of cannonball sinkers allows them to cut through the water efficiently, reducing drag and enabling better bottom contact.
2. Weight Distribution: Their design helps in distributing weight evenly, which aids in maintaining contact with the bottom, crucial for detecting bites.
3. Stability: Cannonball sinkers tend to stay upright on the bottom, which minimizes the chances of snagging on underwater structures while providing a stable base for the bait.
4. Versatility: They can be used in various depths and current conditions, making them suitable for different fishing environments.
5. Ease of Use: Their design allows for quick adjustments in weight, enabling anglers to switch to lighter or heavier sinkers as necessary based on the fishing conditions.
Overall, the combination of these characteristics makes cannonball sinkers an excellent choice for bottom bounce rigging, enhancing the effectiveness of this fishing technique.
Top Things To Keep in Mind!
1. Weight Selection: Choose the appropriate weight for your fishing conditions, considering factors like water depth, current strength, and the type of fish you’re targeting.
2. Line Compatibility: Ensure your fishing line can handle the weight of the cannonball sinker without compromising its integrity or leading to breakage.
3. Rigging: Properly rig your sinker to avoid tangles. Use a sliding sinker rig or a drop shot rig, depending on your fishing technique. Cannon Balls are highly recommended for bottom bounce rigging.
4. Casting Technique: Practice your casting technique to achieve optimal distance and accuracy, taking into account the added weight of the sinker.
5. Sensitivity: Be aware that heavier sinkers can reduce sensitivity. Use a sensitive rod and reel to detect bites more effectively.
