OLD SETUP....



NEW SETUP

That should work fine! If you have an area where you can bounce of the bottom (without hanging up) and locate fish 1-4 feet from the bottom you can try this setup also. It has worked fine for me. Drop to the bottom and reel up a foot. (It's a 3/8 bell weight on the bottom with hooks 12-18" apart with a swivel on top)
