[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 60702, member: 367"] I'm no expert by any means but when I started fishing with them I didn't have a depth finder and that method has stuck with me. When I sweep the rod tip back I like to feel the bb tag bottom and I constantly spool line in/out accordingly. Boat speed and the buoyancy of what you have tied on determines how far off bottom your bait is. When in sunken trees or snaggy bottom I almost always run a floating rig of some sort, Some days a floating rig works best some days right on bottom works best. I start out with one of each. I try to keep a good variety of long/short /floating/sinking rigs, they all get a quick change spinner clevis. Also a good variety of spinner blades both plastic and metal. Like others mentioned fireline or heavy line on rod saves on bb, I like wire hooks VS harder brittle hooks , I would rather reshape a hook with a needlenose than snap a hook or line when snagged.
