I'm w/ JeffNC on these babies. They're awesome. I like taking an apart a nice 3/4 or 1/2 oz rooster tail and using the body as a weight by working it up in the belly slit, threading my line through it if I can. The method for my madness here is having a centralized weight in the body of the plastic, which makes a great little slap on those pads and it doesn't make it too difficult to move it over top of them too much. I'll use a plastic bead texas rigged on the nose of the plastic to protect the tear up a little. When the pads are real thick I'll walk the product to the edges of the weed beds as much as possible, making little splashings here and there, then occasionally dropping the bait into the depths and being ready for a smack. My experience has been is that the biggun's watch the thing, waiting for it to make the mistake of going deep. When it does, that's when she's a gonner. SwimBaits work great for this application as well. I like using as heavy a braid as I can find for this application or super strong 100% fluoro. Makes for great castability and durability as well.
I'll take an extra long shanked hook like a 0/5 off shanked worm hook and actually trailer it w/ a small treble hook w/ the tips in the legs and the worm hook in the rear of the body if I start missing the bites.
