I use 1 rod with glow plastics and a 2 rod with a #16 treble and a small slit shot 6-8 ft. Away from my jigging rod,and 3 rod is a slip bobber & #16 treble next to my jigging hole! And it seams to work for me! tight lines...
Tight lines...fish on!!

i always buy a doz minnows then pull out the scissor's and cut the head of the minnows. why i use a size 12 moon glo jig white glow with chartuse dot  from k&e tackle. how i rig it i slide the tail on like rigging soft plasics  and save the head for a sweddish pimple or slender type spoon with treble hook and jig two rods then you got a total  of 24 baits this way. that or i use spikes they work if there eating fast and furious.  seen tyhem take waxies too....when there hungry.
