Cast, pause, retreive pause, retreive pause, etc. The slightest change in the indicators disposition, I'd be setting the hook. If that doesn't work for you I'm certain a pencil or quill type will work just as well. It would give you and indication as to when the jig finally settled completely verticle.

Actually I use the same thing about 30% of the time I would say....pretty handy, still prefer my bobber stoppers i buy due to their coloration...flourescent orange/red are very hard for me to see on the water for some reason? Have a good one....MM
