yep grossy same clip. I used 2 frog tongues and think they rest correctly. As you are saying I do think it would be better to use one large weight, probably could use 14 and get better friction/digging in with better aerodynamics for casting. I may buy some cod sinkers and put in a small spike for just such an occasion in the future. Buy a 1lber and cut it down to around 13-14 and put in a thick guage copper wire for grip. I love fishing these kind of conditions when it isn't too "dirty", feel like you'll get a bite any minute so being able to hold bottm and not worry about fishing multiple rods makes it more enjoyable. We fished 7 rods in a span of 150yds with only minor tangle issues...mostly the result of a wayward cast. It also helped that NOTHING was taking our baits so we could easily leave a head for 30 minutes and bring it back pristine which really cut down on the number of casts, only had to take a few cranks every 10 minutes or so to make sure it wasn't sanded over which was the biggest problem with the heavy lead.
In the future in a situation like that I will probably go to a 2' leader instead of 2" on my FF so you don't have to worry about the bait getting burried with the weight. My best day striper fishing on
AI was a day just like that my frist trip out, 2 10oz lobed out on 5 ft FF leader like I was boat fishing, my guess is the bait was washing all over the place and was easier to find due to movement. When the surf is up and the fish are close I'm going to 12" or better in the future. Lets face it, when you are "tossing" 16-20oz of weight aerodymanics ain't all that important, sure is good striper fishing though...
