Ones ,hoping to mount a 2#er one day
I caught it on a nightcrawler using a slip bobber setup. I tie a leader on using a small swivel because I get bad line twist if I don't. The key in my setup when slip bobbering, is fishing without a bobber stopper. That allows the bait to settle on the bottom every time. Redear are always patrolling the bottom.
