Cant imagine using anything the heavy tackle, would think you would be draggin up half the pile everytime you get hung, then youd be off to another brushpile, i prefer single jig 1/4 when in thick cover and maybe 2 1/8 ounce when not in the thick stuff) on 10lb braid in stained water. if its not I use low vis green in 6 or 8 lb. usually with loopnots for each jig, curious mountain fork if the bobber stop would also help when counting down on cast and drag? Good luck fellas!!!
