[cool][#0000ff]I do a lot of "dipsticking" and "donut dunking" with a long rod made from flyrod blanks. It works especially well when working around shoreline cover, but will work just as well in the open water, if it is not too deep. The long rod is not as sensitive for feeling light "ticks", when the fish are tentative.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The reel loaded with mono should work fine, but you can also just put a few feet on the end of your flyline...like an elongated leader. I have done that in stream fishing before, when I wanted to "dropshot" or flip cast sunken flies when the fish were deep.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]By the way, I am attaching a pic of some small Roadrunner jigs I have just put together, for fly rod casting. They are on size 6 hooks and 1/32 oz. heads. It is quite possible that some of those may be included with your BFT stickers.[/#0000ff]
