Thanks for the help

Came in a couple of weeks ago with questions about rigs and set ups. Got a lot of great advice and the past few weeks I have been crushing it. Thanks for everyone that help out!

Weight estimate

I’m not much of a catfisherman, but landed this unit fishing for stripers. How much would you guess this blue cat weighs? I’m 5’9” for reference.

I need help

Not a single bite my last 20+ runs. Ive fished 2 lakes and multiple spots along the missouri.

I use a slip rig with a 5/0 hook and have tried multiple dough baits, hot dogs, and liver covered in cool aid. I cast about every 30 mins and move spots every hour or so.

I fish in the sun, in the rain, and quite a bit at night.

What can i do for better luck? Its getting pretty discouraging.

Any good lead alternative weights/sinkers and where to buy

I'm looking to buy some weights for Carolina rigs, Santee rig, fish finder rig and various other rigs i decide to try but it seems that there isn't a good source of non lead heavy weights at least that ive seen. The largest tungsten I've seen is 1 Oz barrel

If there isn't a good alternative to lead what's your favorite place to buy lead weights if a site like ebay please give your favorite reliable seller
