rigger weights

Hi Guys

What lbs rigger weights do you guys usually run when dropping them 60 ft or so. I have 10lb, and at 2.5 speed the cable was pulling WAY back on Saturday. thx

12lber's here with noticably less blowback than the 10's I used to use (same style cannon type). Many are using 15lb weights with even less blowback. Keep in mind other factors like style of weight, ie: ball vs torpedo with the ball having more resistance and thus more blowback. Another factor is current. Change direction 180 degrees and if the blowback angle of cable changes with the same speed and depth, there is most likely a current down there. Without a downspeed and temp unit, angle of rigger cable is important and less angle helps to be more consistent.

I use the 13 pound torpedoes from A-TOM-MIC and love them.
