belive it or not , plain old worms . i use a pencil bobber a number 8 mustad circle hook and a split shot . i use different splitshots depending on the size of the worm . kind of a cross between european bobber fishing and steelhead fishing . i think dave uses the same technique in his ice fishing also .
the worm floats with the current naturally as if not on a line at all , the bass can take the bait without feeling the pull from the bobber at all . i wait a few seconds and set the hook , fish on !!!
i did a lot of bobber fishing last year , the pencil bobber worked the best out of all the different types i used . greater surface area offering the least resistance in a good current .
