Hi All,

him what he used. *He said the caught a little 2
to 3 inch minnow with a tiny worm, then cut the
minnow in half and floated the bottom (tail)
section down in the current. *He also said that
the head section did not work so well, just
the tail section.

at all, which I had also noticed. *And that the

bottom off a swim bait?

Many thanks,

Why not use the bottom half of a minnow? Are you in an artificial
only area?
