I've used Swedish pimples for Whitefish on the great lakes.

What did you want to know?

Best colors for me have been -

1) Silver
2) Gold
3) White
4) Green

You can also try hammered / prism versions of these colors.
Don't forget to use a good ball bearing swivel a couple of feet up the line to get rid of line twist.

Post a question that is a little more detailed and I'll try to help if I can.

Bounce Bottom, you want to attract the whitefish to the area.

I use wax worms as bait


Hope this helps,

what size of pimple do you use for them? and do you use a single hook attached to the pimple or do you use a dropper line coming off of the pimple?
