Never heard of that. Have you tried the rig you suggest party boats use? Any success?
It's basically a hi-lo rig w/o the bucktail at the bottom. It works well.

You've never heard of the 30 count? It's an approximation. I've witnessed a 10 count, a 30 count, a 50 count, and of course: the count that starts after a good 30 second chew from a 10 inch fish...hard to detect through a fiberglass baseball bat and an 8 oz sinker in a ripping drift.

I've never fished on Ron's boat. Maybe short fluke never swallow hooks on his rental rods, I wouldn't know. I do see a ton of swallowed hooks on the party boat trips I've been on.
