[QUOTE="KDM, post: 294120, member: 314"] I have used what is essentially a 3-4 inch lindy rig that cast fairly well. It appeared to me that the extra 2-4 inches of distance between the weight and the hook kept the hook from wrapping the line as much during the cast as the weight of the minnow or the worm seemed to keep the hook point out and away from the line during the cast and even during a hop or jigging motion. At least it did with my style of casting. Think very short Carolina rig here. A 1/8th oz bullet weight pinned above a small barrel swivel with 3-4 inches of floro leader tipped with a bait hook and minnow or chunk of crawler put lots of eyes on the bank for me. Especially in the spring when I used a drag-stop type retrieve or a small hop-stop retrieve with a minnow on the back. Summer time called for a chunk of crawler more which appealed to the perch as well. Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
