The deeper the fish the better control of spider rigging or pushing. Hope this helps.
Herewego. Thanks for the post. I also use weight on the bottom. You gave me confidence in that way. I was almost thinking the weight on bottom spooks them. I like the weight on bottom so when I fish the bottom it is easy to tell you are there. When you fish with jigs which do you use. I use tube but I see a lot of pullers like the curly tail.
