This method sure worked well a couple years ago in the 18' deep strip mines. I fish mostly shallow water now due to fuel prices ,but a slow retrieve is getting me the same effect. Mike
Thanks Mike. I guess your method with the jig head and split shot is to keep the bait as near the bottom as possible while trolling.
