weight for quick strike?

Hi guys,

I would like to know if you add a weight on your quick strike?

Thank's

I slip a 16p finish nail in it to weigh it down. Since I can only use dead bait, it helps getting down the hole faster. They tend to want to float especially when still partially frozen.

Thank you coboy!

1/4oz bell sinker 18" above the bait for me.

No weight for me,  if its live bait I let them swim.  If its dead bait, it should sink,  I also give it a good stomp to let some juices out.   I always figured if there was weight on the rig that it would hinder the action of the bait and possibly the hook set.  Just more stuff to tangle
