It slips but is not quick change.

Do you mean slip on the line?
I just bought these. Once the Clevis goes on line, the weight's snap in and out. You can use any weight pencil type bouncer with a eyelet.

I told Kerry in a PM that I could see some potential issues with that Wingit system.
The first is that sooner or later that silicone sleeve is going tear in that rock rip/rap you see a lot of in the Q. That means your going to lose that lead weight. Not what you want environmentaly if you can help it.
I guess if you check it frequently you'd decrease that risk, but I have another concern as well.
I think that Bulbous shape of the bouncer makes it a good candidate to get wedged in the rocks compared to a pencil type of bouncer. Another thing is if you go to that set-up you need to buy all your weights and the rest of the system exclusive from them. The sliding bouncers I linked too, once you put the Clevis on your line, you can use ANY bottom bouncer that will snap into that Clevis. The clevis on the Northland is shaped like a torpedo and I can't see it being a problem for the action of crank baits/spinners/spoons staying permanently on your line?

I guess one of you serous fishing guys needs too do a field test and see if my concerns are relevant or just worst case scenario thinking?
