Here's my set up, after guys use it they want exactly what I have for some reason:
7'2" Drop Shot Carrot Stix Rod Medium Heavy
Shimano Symetre 2500fyj
8 or 10# Seaguar InvizX fluro (fluro is a must IMO)
3/16th oz Spot remover hooks (Buckeye Lures) I mold my own I special ordered the mold
Now....Worms
Net Bait T-Mac
Zoom trick worm
Charmers shakey worms
I almost always use straight tail (finesse)
Now when the 3/16 seem too light due to wind I will use a tru tungsten worm that has the tungsten molded into it and it gives me enough feel, stick with green worms of any flavor/color combination.
You don't "have" to do anything special you can work it just like a texas rig dragging it on the bottom but... when you drag it up next to something stop and shake your rod tip a little , just like you were trying to lightly remove it from a snag. As it comes over stop it again .... hold on to your rod.... follow the Dave Stewart hook setting rule: 1st tap their picking it up, second tap there turning it around in their mouth (because they don't have hands) "that's when I own them", if you wait till the third that is when they are swallowing it. Nothing special the jig head/worm combination does most of the work for you. It is a great set up for kids, and the number one rig for the back of the boat (it's the most used rig for co-anglers on the professional tour)
