thedonnguyen Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Screwdriver + hammer + bait. bdpettit, Lewisr23 and basskickinrednick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Lay it on a towel and use a small screw driver. Give it a few taps, turn it over and work the other side. Once it comes lose a bit, it's easy to pop the rest of the way out. bdpettit and Zack Carscaddon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterpondbass Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 All im doing is chipping paint off the bullet? How does this come out? And even if I get it out how do I just put it right back in ? I'm going to break this thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Tap gently, take your time. Put the screwdriver at the edge of the weight and angle it so you are applying force away from the body of the bait. Mine took 6-8 taps on each side to come loose but some pop out right away. The towel helps because it allows the weight to move out away from the bait. If you lay it on a hard surface, you're just pushing the other side of the weight into something that won't move.

mjaygrunt Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Use a thin screw driver..a lil bigger than the size you would use for tightening a pair of glasses...place the weighted portion of the bait under hot water before you bang away. This causees the glue to give a lil. Zack Carscaddon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinHill Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I used splitring pliers. Put the part with the point in between the lead and the plastic squeze amd it will pop loose then pull down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterpondbass Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Well my hands are bleeding, and the weight is ruined, but I got it!!! Thanks boys. @Deps, there should be a much easier system than this to add and remove a weight. basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timcauliffe Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The weight looks fine to me. Mine took a few taps on each side before I could pop it out. Later glued it back in on the boat with the super glue and hooked 2 in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodCat Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Shame on me for asking but what's the purpose of removing the nose weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Shame on me for asking but what's the purpose of removing the nose weight? To change the rate of fall, so that it sinks more slowly. If hot water works to loosen it, then that's the way to go. I tried a heat gun on mine and it started to take the paint off almost immediately, so don't try that.
