What the solver builds around it

The most common pick at each other stage, across the 71 builds around the Lead Bullet Worm Weights that clear without an error.

Every fish, every water

Each row is the best rig the solver can build for that fish in that water while being forced to use the Bullet Weights Lead Bullet Worm Weights. "Adds" lists the engine problems it brings that the free solve for the same pair does not have, and the last price column is the cost against that free solve.

Fish-and-water pairs are the ones we publish solved rigs for: water type matches and the fish is actually targeted there. Build prices are street-price estimates from our catalog.

Where it falls short

The checks the Lead Bullet Worm Weights trips that the free solve for the same pair does not, by how many builds each one fires in. The quoted line is the engine's own message from the first build it fired in.

  • Weight vs currentwarn in 8 builds

    Muskellunge, River Run: 1 oz will not hold in River Run. Current here rates 0.70. As a working figure you need roughly 2.1 oz to hold bottom, more if you are casting across the flow. Under-weighted, the rig sweeps downstream and ends up behind you in a snag.

    From a current rating of 0.5 the engine works out about 3 oz per unit of current to hold bottom, and warns under half of that. Float rigs skip it: they are not trying to hold.
