Billy - Curtiss Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 How many BB shot do you typically use below the slip float for this presentation? And how close down to the hook should I be going? I'm planning on some fall river action in the weeks ahead and I will be trying roe sacks, Berkeley Power grub, and trout jigs. I want to make sure I'm getting down far enough but I also don't want to overdo it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettiop Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 It all depends on the size of your float/river current/river depth... You want enough so your float is properly cocked, but not so much that it starts to drag it under water. make sure you get split shot all the wey down to about 1-2' from your bait, a lot of new steelhead fisherman don't get there bait down deep enough....heavy current and ill sometimes put 3-4 aplit shots about 6" from my bait. Get it down and keep it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Where I fish mostly,I can get away with bulk shotting. Gets the bait down fast and stays there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Depends on the float size. I don't bulk shot unless I'm fishing fast water.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
