I've always used cannon balls with fins, what is the difference between cannon balls with fins and without fins?
Thx Daniel

I beg to differ so a 12lb with a 6 inch SS fin with less than 2" surface hitting the water while trolling has the same or more drag than a 12 round which is more than 4 " wide if we are talking physics ummmmmm something wrong there!!!!!!!!
Same as 50 lb tuff line and 80 lb test mono Im thinking less surface area is going to create less drag.
If you got a pancake weight going too sideways you have bent the fin way too much all you need is a tweak not a bend less than a 1/4 of an inch any more and you will have tracking problems you have to experimant with it to find what works for you. I have been running SS 12 for over 20 years and dont have a problem never seen one "flutter" before so dont know what that is?????
As for out on the bank I have seen round ones,finned ones,torpedo go all over the place that place has its own unique current it is all over the shop thats why its calle the carmanaah triangle.
If your fishing 100 ft and above no problem with either weights just make sure you have really good swivals on them. and good wire because if thats the price now OMG make sure every thing is in tip top shape!!!!!

Sushi still dont agree how by putting a fin on something you are creating more drag????? how come a round one with a the built in fin doesnt do the same if we are using your theory??
