You can also do the same thing with a floating rig setup. But instead of using a lead weight at the bottom, just use a small jig. You just have to incorporate the jig into the surgeon's knot while you are making the loop. Now you'll have two baits in the water,I catch doubles with this float rig all the time.

Thanks.

I would recommend Chartreuse Shad, Emerald Shiner, Black Shad. In that order.
Likely you won't need anything other than Chartreuese Shad.

One tip on using this bait, other than using the downshot rig I mentioned earlier in this thread --

When opening a jar -- After you take the black plastic lid off you will see a foam
gasket sealing the jar. Do NOT take this completely off. Just enough where you
can poke your finger in there to get a few of the baits out. Then lay the foam gasket
back down and then close the jar with the black plastic lid.
Reason for this -- THESE JARS LEAK if you peel the foam gasket off completely and
then put the black plastic jar lid back on without it.
