Downrigger Weights .. What Size?

[Lunddude]

I had been using 8# black rubber coated weights but dropped down to 6# orange rubber coated this year. The 6# don't put near the drain on the battery as the 8# did. A good rule of thumb is 1# of weight for every 10 feet down that your fishing. The 6# weights should be good down to 60 feet with minimal blow back. So far my favorite size unless I'm fishing up at Sekui [fishin]
