Finicky Fooler is a good option and does not require rod to be loaded. I have both FF and Jawjacker. The FF is about 10-12 cheaper. I like both for the fact they break down for easy portability. My homemade ones while cheaper worked just as good. But were a headache for transport.

The Finicky Fooler does not set hook like the Jawjacker does. It requires an open bail or free spool on reel. Almost same as the old style tip up. Instead of hand lining off of tip up spool a rod and reel is used.
