Adding weight without affecting the bait
So far this week, my goto bait has been a wacky rigged 3" senko. I have been tossing it to the edges of the reeds and have been catching a lot of fish in 3' of water.
The problem is that this technique is not so good on windy days. Today's wind was 15-20 mph with gusts of 40. I tried adding weight, but the bait fell through the zone too fast. I also switched to drop shotting it and C-rigging them, but that didn't work either. The one thing that helped was for me to add a large bobber to the line with a 2 foot leader. While this led to several hits, it really hampered my hook up ratio. With wind in the forecast for the rest of the week, I am looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance
