sounds like you use them exactly like i do, bearlakefishguy. they are pretty slick. they do take some practice to learn how they feel when they reach the bead, but that comes with experience in using them. i have found that this is a lot easier if your bait doesnt have much pull. thats why i use dodgers and lures, or lures alone when using a shuttle hawk... no more pop geer when using them. they will work with pop geer, but it makes it much more difficult to get them to dive properly.
i wish i would have had one of these back when i was using my old manual downriggers!
