Can't go wrong with what Gabowman and Stump told ya...the only thing I'll add is sometimes when the wind is calm I'll use splitshots above the jig, I think I can detect bites better than when I use large weights on the bottom of the rig. I also use 6#test and I really like the hi-viz yellow Vicious line it works for all kinds of trolling and nightstalking. Also, consider using rods of different lengths to stagger your lines (to prevent some tangling). Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck........Burdawg
