I don’t think there’s an issue with the Weedline. I guess to me it is like a MEGA sized spinner rig to a large degree. Instead of beads and a spinner attracting the fish to the bait you have artificial structure.
Lake trout anglers use “cowbells” and salmon anglers use flashers to attract their target species. This is one more adaptation of a proven approach intended to pull fish from a distance to an angler’s bait.
