Heading to SAK on Saturday. Going to target Lakers. Not sure if I would need snap weights to get to them. But in case my Deep Taildancers can’t reach them I would like to have snap weights as a back up. Is there anywhere in Ely that would have them? My local stores are picked over and or don’t carry them.

When I was up the opening week I only caught trout in deep water. 100 to 90 feet. I was using a large tadpole diving weight that got my lure down past 30 feet. I never had a fish on sonar they would come off the bottom and hit hard. I caught a trout every morning I fished for them.
My last big fish has yet to be caught.

Yes, and good luck finding them. I lost my last one on Kek last year. This week I pulled a couple of red offshore releases off of my planer boards to make a couple more. I had the weights, just couldn't find the snaps.
"Hold on, I think I can get in without getting my feet wet."....SPLASH...

Thanks for the info guys. I have a Fleet Farm in my town. They are just so understocked! I did see some offshore planer clips. So maybe I will stop and buy them. Was also looking at dipsy divers. I have never used them, and snap weights seemed simpler. What size weights do you guys usually take. I just don't want to overkill and carry more weight than I have too.

I mainly use the 2 and 3 ounce weights. Figure you can let less line out that way. One thing you will learn quick is if you stop moving (hopefully because the canoe mate has a fish on) - you best be quick to reel in because they drop quick when you stop moving.
