Y’all and Victor to float fish a lot. I’ve tried with poor success unless you count the many times I get hung up and lose the entire rig, leader included. I don’t find schools of suspended fish or even a somewhat uniform depth to a flat that it would work well on. I still keep one rigged and carry it in the boat but it just doesn’t get much play. The confidence thing also plays on my head some cuz it hasn’t worked more than it has. The flow of the river is a challenge with it also but that has worked well in the past. I cast up current and let the jig settle as it floats past a downfall. This works fine until there’s a tiny branch poking out a bit further. Ive gotten some large crappie doing this but a snag is always not far away. I envy you folks with open water sometimes like this.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
