Just be sure you're thumpin' that thing on sand.

With all of the various parts of a bounceball rig, you can imagine what will happen if you get over some grass or kelp and try to thump it.
That having been said, also plan for a snag with that really heavy weight, and make the line from swivel to weight light enough that you can break it off in a bind, so as not to lose the $20 worth of other tackle, by losing just the weight.
Maybe bring a couple of extra weights with that in mind.
Tight lines,
Willy
