Really depends on how you enjoy fishing . What you are doing is as good as any . I Carolina rig a 1/64 jig tipped with a meal worm. A bead about a foot up the line allows fish to pick up bait and run without feeling the weight . My favorite was is to cast 1/32 roadrunners (black on black ) . Both will catch red ear but not any better on a given day as what you are doing . I prefer to be casting and winding, as toss and sit .
