Default Drop away rig tip

Whenever I use a balloon rig like this I make it a "drop away" rig. All you have to do is tie a piece of string to a balloon, then to the other end of the string tie a life-savor(candy). then tie another piece of string from the life-savor to your swivel. Your bait should have plenty of time to get where you want it, and then just wait and your bait will drop to the bottom once the life-savor melts. If its melting to fast, stick 2 or 3 life-savors together.
