You will see them turn their head and give it the O'l one eye staredown. I also prefer to fish mono and with braid will use extremely long topshot whenever conditions permit. Another tip....take the shine off your pretty sinkers !!! Every little bit helps. The other thing I do not like for togging is the crappy lead we are running into. Sinkers are much harder and have a "ting" to them much different than the old soft "quiet" lead.

Pardon the interruption in the thread here but the million dolllar question is are you (Bobby) and the things fishing round 2 PUOSU? All 3 of you qualified and I need to know by Wednesday please....

Sorry and back to our regularly scheduled programming.
