    I've yet to actually see them work at all, apart from cod and they don't count cause they would eat a bottle top covered in fish repellent

    you need to have a good sounder and also preferably a chart plotter and know how to use it because you have to find the fish unlike bait and burley where you just a fishy looking spot sit and wait
    once you find a school on the sounder you need to work out with the wind an tide which way your going to drift and set the boat up so it drifts back over the school this is where the chart plotter comes in handy as you can set up tracks etc to help you

    if your drifting fast a sea anchor will slow you down you want nice slow drift
    cast in the direction your drifting the idea is to have the bait hit the bottom under the boat
    work the bait with little twitches you don't need big moves its not jigging

    only use a big enough jig head to get to the bottom under the boat the

    also don't be afraid to use small hooks I only use 1/0 -3/0 max the fish hooked in the lips or jaw so there's no need for a massive hook
    the smaller the hook the better your bait will be presented

    fishing at anchor with soft baits is not recommended for best results however ive found it can work will if there's a little bit of current

    I fish with a shimano thunnis 4000ci4 spooled with 20lb braid and use 20lb fluorocarbon most people would say that's to big and I tend to agree but I'm a strayline fisherman 1st and foremost so I needed something I could use for both and the 4000 thunnis has the bait runner feature we all know and love for straylineing
