Thanks guys. I'll give it a try.I think it depends. It'll get fouled up in milfoil and the like if you get it very far into it, but I've used it along the edges with a lot of success. I've found they come through eelgrass and things like that pretty darn well. I don't know that it comes through much worse than a Carolina rig, it's just that the bait itself isn't away from the weight like it is on a Carolina rig.
