Starting out, I used Capps and Coleman rigs. With 2 hooks got hung up a lot. Started using a drop shot rig, 1/2 oz bank sinker with hook (#2). about 2 feet above it. You can vary the height of the hook or hooks above sinker. Two hooks gets you hooked more especially when gar are active. Loop knot for hook. Vary number of rods depending on how much brush is present.
