I have had alot of success with this technique. I have used it on Lake Champlain and Saratoga lake in NY, as well as KY/Barkley and on Priest in Nashville. If you are around them and they are eating you will catch them. My father lives in NY and did not understand the hows and whys of doing it, once we went out and I showed him it has become a difference maker as few people there do this technique. I generally use a Hoppy's stroking jig in a 5/8 oz size with a zoom pro style chunk. Its a preference and I've seen others use different tackle but its always seemed to work.

good luck.
