Also do you use 8oz sinkers at all depth?
Thank you again!

A great read and something I've been trying to implement, especially with using live bait on one rig and a Rapala on the other to increase my hookups while minimizing maintenance. I like the idea of constantly having a rig in the water even when checking bait, plus if they're not in the mood for live bait then perhaps that lure looks appetizing. I figure there's a ton of different ways to rig and you can't really go wrong using any of them, it just may take longer to land that keeper with some than others. I will drag 2 Rapalas if I don't have any bait and want to cover ground between fishing spots, works well for all sorts of species including Hali's. Just my $0.02, and everyone has their own opinion with rigs
