Two tips I would have are 1) use 80lbs braid, 2) have a pole ready to retreive if needed. I use a garden hoe handle with a hook screwed into it. Also BPS sales a A-Rig 3700 box, it holds 4 rigs and baits. It is made by plano, around $7. Also in Zona's fishing show it talked about using a different color bait and jug head on the middle bait to get more strikes, I have tried it that way but too early to tell if it makes a difference.
