xjclint Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I load the 6" to 2.6-2.7. There is only one chamber on the back end for those. The 4.5" and 7" have two back chambers so I usually drill in the middle so the shot fills both (just the back 1/4 isn't big enough). I use the smallest lead shot size. Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. -Thoreau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought three little ones. I'll do a 6" too, looks a little easier to do too with the back chamber. Makes it ideal for a little extra weight.. Thanks Run Silent, Run Deep...

Mack26 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Got mine today, decided to leave them unloaded and fish them as is. Changed the splits and hooks and they’re ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I just loaded another 7" up to 2 oz. and a 6" up to 1.5 oz. My goal is to help the casts, add rattles too, and keep the pencil popper action. Especially with bigger gear and conditions I ordered a 4 1/2" that has a clear finish with a blue head; so the chambers are visible. Looking forward to loading a couple those up over an ounce. That said: there's definitely a place for the original Cordell's and Redfin's left alone unloaded. Both have saved an outing more than once just the way they are. Usually in more quiet settings, where distance wasn't critical either. Edited February 26, 2019 by Rainmaker Run Silent, Run Deep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack26 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 That’s exactly why i left these unloaded. I have a particular river mouth location that always has a great outflow with a lot of eddy’s and calm water edges that will be perfect for these. They seem heavier than i expected too, so i’ll fish them as is for now. snapper1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
