Here's the method that works for me...use a cigar-shaped slip bobber on 6-lb test line with a split shot about 10 inches above a number 8 aberdeen hook with a cricket hooked thru the anus...toss it out, wait till the line goes slack when the split shot hits bottom, then reel in enuff line to watch it move when the fish grabs the bait...yesterday I caught one using this method that weighed over a pound...most had swallowed the hook, which is to be expected when you use this method of "tightlining"...good luck to ya...
