A general rule of thumb for how much weight to use is one (1) ounce for every ten (10) feet of water depth. Bouncers come with snap swivels already attached and those are what you use to attach the line going to your presentation. At some point the knot slides down the wire and you have issues. I haven’t had much luck with a direct tie to those types of bouncers either. Northland makes a bouncer and the top where your main line connects is shaped like the letter “R”, which allows a quick clip to slide down the bouncer and possibly come off. I like the bouncers with a fully enclosed loop at the top so I can use a quick clip to change out bouncers quickly if I need to adjust the amount of weight I am using. Generally cheap is fine and most often I prefer the cheaper bouncers. The bouncer itself is an ordinary no thrills piece of equipment. Let’s get started with the proper equipment.

It’s that time of year when the weather is warm and the fishing is on fire! I am talking June is the month of BBQ’s, baseball and bottom bouncers.
