I used a 1/2 oz egg sinker with my hook 12" below it. I dropped all the way to bottom then one crank up which = 2' on my spinning reels. I see a lot of men using smaller weight but I like that the 1/2 oz gets me down fast and I have more feel with my one crank off bottom as well as when I get a bit. I also used a couple of rods in holders. I staggered 1 12' rod then a 6', 12' 6' to cover deferent depths based on the slope coming off the bank. I used 3/4 oz egg sinker on my 12' rods as it provides feel coming off bottom and I can see the bit better will they are in the holders. Oh if you like blue cats you can fill the boat out there fishing in 40 to 55 fow 5 cranks off bottom with shinners.

Now that's a good report......me n Danny's gonna show yawl how it's done out there......

yawl??????hmmmm?????

I usually use a 1/4 with a hook above and below. Thanks for the report...

I guess u can. I tried it on one rig my first day only catching on the bottom. No need in wasting minners I figured.

For sure if it ain't broke don't fix it I was just asking

I was actually using a bottom drop that first day. Thinking about it a caps n colemen type may work as that top hook will not be as high up. Hmmmm!

Where is this?
