The main line to a 16oz trolling sinker with a three-way swivel rigged off the other end of the sinker.

Off the one eye of the three-way is a 12' leader of 130lbs mono to a 24" umbrella with a 8oz parachute rigged as the bait.

Off the other eye of the three-way is a 6' piece 130lbs mono to a 28oz mojo with a 12" shad on it.

It hangs almost straight down...I put it out 30-40' and boy, howdy when a fish hits that thing ...hang on! Almost like a dumby line, except on a heavy rod!

Tawn- You must spend a lot of time at the gym during the off-season
