Hi Guys,
Yeah, sometimes it takes a few fish reeled in before some folks catch the idea.
Erawk, I like to think of it sort of like a guitar string, when the fish starts gnawing at the bait, with the weight on the very end of the line, you can feel the vibration on your end of the line a whole lot easier than if the fish has to actually move off with it in his mouth. That is what happens when the weight is in between you and the hook. Also, when fishing from the Kayak, I would much rather be reaching for a nice unsharp weight when I lift the line out of the water to rebait the hook or change things around.
