I put this post in the Canada fishing section also. I would like to know if the bottom bouncers will get snagged up any more than the Gapen bait Walkers when tolling a river that has a lot of rocks and structure? hen fishing a river that is 10 – 25 ft deep what size would you guys use? Thanks for any info
Neither will snag much unless you have slack in your line and allow them to tip over. Bottom bouncers are a bit larger (longer) and may run baits higher off the bottom then bait walkers.
If forced to pick one, I would imagine since the design of a bottom bouncer has the weight farther up and a bait walker has it’s mass on the bottom, the bouncers may be a bit more snag free.
As far as size, that depends on depth and current. I would bring a variety of 1-1/2oz, 2oz & 3oz bottom bouncers.
