[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 105300, member: 330"] I modified this from a tip from an "enemy" on FBO: Rig a Carolina with a 1/2oz no roll sinker to a bbl swivel (not snap) to a 2ft leader. My preference of hook is a #2 Mustad Octopus. Thread a crawler like a plastic, pull all the way out and re-insert until you feel the bait is secure and will maintain a decent straight/steamlined profile in the water. Inject the tail with air. Bloat the worm as much as possible without rupturing. Flip upstream a bit, (just past where the dark water begins) and allow to settle. [I][B]DO NOT launch into the middle of the river[/B][/I]. If you do, all is lost. Once bait is settled, prop your rod at a 45 degree angle and slowly reel back until you achieve a "belly" in your line. Watch the rod tip and belly. When you get activity, lift the rod butt first, keeping the tip [I][B]down[/B][/I]. Don't let the fish feel YOU. If this causes too much slack; slowly reel to produce another belly. (You must actually do this very quickly and smoothly or your bait's gone) When you feel the first tap (or more importantly; just before); ram that SOB home.
