Cannon ball weight and shapes

[Salmonpadawan]

Hello kind of new to the salmon fishing thing been around some great fisherman from manistee...taught me some things but just acquired the necessary  equipment  for trolling. I'm having problems with my blowback im running 12 lb balls coated. Does anyone have any idea if the torpedo  style or fish style help  with this?

One thing that I have found is that a fifteen pound fish shaped cannonball works quite well, I started with eight pound balls and for some reason after I switched to these fifteen pounders I caught more fish. It might have been a coincidence but I haven't had a problem with the weights. They are a bit expensive but in my opinion they are worth it.
