Gulp Earthworm tips are pretty good searching the flats. Horizontal tungsten jig and a ~ 1" piece, looks like the plastic wedgee, think it works better. Have tried a whole one under a bobber strung on similar to summer fishing, why not. Little ones tended to peck it to death, 'gills, perch and crappies, but every now and then a monster will annihilate it. Friend has tried real ones in the past, didn't think they were worth the hassle and made little difference, if any.
