I've been having trouble keeping my book jigs down as well. I've starting using a 1/4 barrel weight held in place with a small split shot then a 1/16 ounce jig. Either pulling bobby Garland strollers or slider jigs. With this setup I can adjust my depth by letting more line out, or switching out the split shot for a bigger one. I can get this set up down to about 16 to 18 ft if I need it.

I recently respooled with 4lb line instead of six to reduce drag, especially with the strollers.

I'm from an offshore fishing back ground so I tend to fish all depths at the same time, 1/16 oz at 6 or 7 ft, 1/8 oz at 9 or 10, and then the weighted rig at 10+ ft. I can cover the whole water column until I dial in where the fish are holding.
