If you dont want to put your lead in the bag, just put a small rock or two. Then poke a few holes in the bag.

Keep in mind too that as the water gets colder it will take longer and longer for the bags to dissolve. At this time of the year, I switch to PVA mesh.

As Tim said switch to mesh this time of year.
Once you have used mesh for a little while ,you will most likely not go back to bags ! Also useing mesh this time of year you will put less feed around in the swim. This is very good as fish don't seem to eat as much in colder water. Dal-Carpone |
