Thanks....I put two size BB split shot about 18 inches above the Trout Magnet but in that kind of wind it really wasn't enough. I was getting a lot of crappie bites...and I knew they were there or I would have gone home. I was lucky that the wind just quit and I got the rest of my limit and headed home. Where I fish they were so close to a wall that I could not use the float like I do many times on windy days. Bottom line for those of us that fish 2# test the wind is a big negative for us.
