We put a med red and white bobber at the point where the line hits the water . You set your rod tip high , till the bobber starts to "bounce." with a little practice you can get it jumping like a side planer. This really get them smashing the natural burst movements of a small fish at speed. A partner is important to get the bobber off the line with fish on. One should also tune a streamer to insure it is not twisting your line when trolling.
