In the spirit of a good hearted debate, I object to the whole "lead gets down faster than a slinky", and the whole profile thing. You can get slinky lead in ANY size shot, and the same goes for the parachute cord that it gets stuffed in. Aside from using split shot in low flows, I havent needed to use just lead. And I have never found a flow that could "float" my slinky. (And no, my slinky's are not 4-6 inches long:lol
Sorry fishtopher..was not in the country cuz of business reasons...
anyways..i underlined "your objection"..which lead us to this constructive arguement........
You say you object to this whole lead gets down faster than a slinky...rite...
Now a very simple exercise...you can say trippin or repeating..or whatever...but honestly i donno how to explain other than plain english...
so yeah...take a lead of 1 ounce and make your slinky of 1 ounce...try it..its fun...lol...now drop em in water..and see which one goes faster...
I am not arguing about missing the action under water by a nano second...but just when you need to get your weight down in water faster...
I personally use both and had good results on both...If your a hardcore slinky user I won't argue and by all means stick to your choice..
You should try in for SITCOMs or screenplay writing or writers guild...i like your humour and its hard to find good comedy these days..try it..hey you never know ..mebbe i see you on TV
