I use a Zora spook, cause it lets me present the bait longer. Sometimes I bottom fish for squirrels. Drill a real little whole throw a walnut, run your line through that, and tie it off. Works great cause my trees are all oaks and they get tired of acorns. Cast it under the tree when they are on the ground bottom "bottom feeding". As soon as they find it, they know they got the only one, grab it, and start heading up the tree with it. Now if you think pulling a lunker bass out of mid summer water lillies is a hoot, you ought try yanking a 5 pound, 4 footed, screaming, and scampering squirrel out of a 75 foot oak tree once he's had time to get above the 30 foot level.

Caution-use a net, do not try to land them by hand. I wear my wedding ring on my thumb now, I know, believe me.
