Congrats on the success with the D/S, that was a good trip. I use the
cylinder type sinkers also, they seem to get hung up less as I pitch my
baits mostly to cover, weed beds, laydowns, stumps etc. I also use the
weedless finesse wide gap hooks in the 1/0 size and nose hook the
plastics or wacky rig Senkos. I mostly fish the southern end of the CA
delta and the water is muddy and from 6" to 4-5 feet, depends on the
tide. The hook is 4" to 8" from the weight and just dragged on the
bottom with not much movement. The bass seem to like that presentation
but might not work all over the country. I also use Power Pro 30# braid,
muddy water has some plusses. My best bass using this system was a
little over 7#, the bigger ones like it also. Good luck and good bassin'
to you..
