I use a slip bobber with bobber knot to adjust the depth above a barrel swivel then a short leader to my favorite white with red flake Maniac Gizzila on a 1/8oz Maniac jig head; my other rig is a 2.5" white tube jig on a 3/8oz. tube jig head. For bait, I fillet off one side of a chub then salt both sides of the chub, cutting off and discarding the head and tail then vacuum sealing several of them in a package before freezing them. I bring one or more packages fishing and use a pair of scissors to cut the salted chub into 1/2" by 1/2" pieces that I tip my jigs with.
