Make a Kentucky rig by tying a heavy sinker (3/4 to 1 ounce) to the end of your line. Next, tie a small tube jig a foot above the sinker and a wire hook a foot above the tube bait. Bait the hook with a lively minnow; lower the rig straight down to the bottom close to cover, then reel it up s-l-o-w-l-y.
Use a tight-line presentation with a variation of the Kentucky rig. This consists of a 1 ounce bell sinker at the bottom and two tube jigs on 1/16 ounce heads tied at 18-inch intervals above the weight. The tube jigs are tied with a simple cinch knot. This is fished on 8 pound mono using a 7.5 Ugly Stick spinning rod.
