Curious how long you have been running 15's? I know the older style are capable of pulling up 15's, but recall reading that Scotty has said the older riggers should do more than 12.
It's obvious that 15's are better than 12's for deep water fishing, I just don't want to kill my riggers.
I have run the old double belt models and the single belt models with 15's for almost 20 years. For a while I ran nothing but 13 pound Gibbs pancake weights and loved them till they started charging $50+ for them then I started buying 15's off Craigslist.
