RE: What exactly does a bullet weight do?
Exactly. I use the bullet weights for the Texas rig. When you retreive, you want the weight to slide back up the line a little bit...thats why its not crimped. The weight will fall anf bring the plastic worm to it, so you get the boomp, boomp, boomp effect accross the bottom. Thats how I land the monsters...when I DO land the monsters. sometimes I use a big plastic salt worm with no weight, and it falls more naturally, and you'll get the hit as its slowly sinking down...then another jerk up, and slow sink and so forth...
