Downrigger weight? ball, fish, or pancake?????

[kokeking]

I prefer pancakes weights over balls,they track better with less swing back.They dont hang up as easy as ball shaped weights do.I use 10 and 12 lbs weight for all my fishing at the gorge.Of course if your using a manual downrigger ,weight makes a lot of difference when you have to crank it up all the time.The best weights i ever used were the banana shape ones but they are hard to find.The fish shaped weights work well also.
