I never use a weight this time of year. At a slow cruising speeds your mack should still be a couple of feet deep and out of the bird zone. A small 1/2 oz sinker isn't going to sink the mack much. The difference of your bait being 2 feet or 6 feet under makes the yt kick its tail maybe 1 extra time. A sinker, even a little one, is just more thing that will snap kelp or grass. Mike
