When the fish are even spookier use a small split-shot sinker set two feet from a size 6 or 8 hook. Make sure very little hook is showing. This is important in lakes like Big Saint where the trophy fish have seen a lot of presentations and are very wary. 6lb mono is best, but be careful! Letting big 'eyes walk too much with this rig will result in a lot of break-offs. I usually wait for the third nibble (prob 1 sec) and set straight up to get the fish off the bottom early if I can.
thanks for the feed back.
