Michael,
I would look for a weight with a fin, or keel. The round ones w/o a keel can twist the cable, and are more of a problem when setting your gear. The vinyl-coated ones are nice in that they don't mark boats, etc. I have green ones in the thought that they might attract coho when I am ocean fishing. I used to use the Cannon releases, but have found that the Scotty or Off-Shore releases are much nicer. I recently saw a report that mentioned that fishing guides almost always use one of the above-mentioned clips. Also, stay away from the goofy-shaped balls. They have more drag than the ball with a keel. Get ready for better fishing!! Mike
