I agree about matching the weight and size of coat hanger to the water speed. I usually start out with a full sized half and trim as required.. Ive even twisted 2 U shaped pieces together for water thats really moving. What purpose does the rubber band serve? Thats something i may actually be able to get here in the shire lol
If you cant feel your coat hanger bouncing on the bottom use more... If your constantly having to flick your rod tip to keep it moving you have too much. If your using 12lb line like i was just toss a big piece on and hope for the best!
