Wondering if I am doing this right. I have been tying a gold thin wire hook to the main line and attaching a 1/4 oz split shot about 12 inches above it. I forget what hook size but they seem a bit big for the 2 inch medium shiners. Hooking the little rascals up thru the bottom jaw and out the bridge of their nose. Using a single 10 or 12 foot rod and dropping it vertical near cover. If anyone has found better methods for minnows I would be happy to learn.
