I just adjust the cork and slip shot according to how deep. I slid the cork down in the pic just to make it easier to see. Usually about a 2 feet or so. I don't like dealing with live bait.

I didn't know you could use crank baits with a float lol, does this set-up work very well ???...

Wow this is really interesting. I've used splitshots to make Rapala F03s go deeper, but I've never thought of using a float to keep a deeper diving bait from going too deep. I might have to try this sometime in this one place we fish sometimes where we have to make really long casts to get to the fish, but the water we're fishing is no deeper than about 2.5ft.

Ive caught my two biggest gills (back to back, had them mounted together, combined weight was 3lb 7oz) you cannot go wrong with the albino, whenever im fishing for anything I always bring em and troll back to the landing with them, kinda pricey but oh so worth it!
