Just reading a thread on break away weights and was wondering how much weight is on the average rig and how far away are they ?

If your going to go this week you had better go tonight its going to blow 15 20 knts ne that sucks for me iam on a 24ft cat but kitesurfing will be great.Anybody that wants to try come by n.e 13 st.

Yup, but my favorite if I had to choose just one would be 28oz!! Everyone has different preferences and styles of fishing, so its going to vary

I go 32 almost all the time...sometimes lighter on shallow tips, sometimes heavier on very deep baits, sometimes no weight on some lines.
