Grab a fine wire worm hook, or Owner's new drop shot hook, and tie it on using a Palomar about 2-3 feet up from the end. On the end of the line tie on a bell sinker. Fish it vertically, dragging the sinker along the bottom as you drift along. The idea is to fish a soft plastic just off the bottom for suspended fish. I've heard of some people using two hooks above the sinker, as a way to determine where the fish are suspending.
Weights have a tendency to get caught up in bottom debris.
To avoid losing your whole rig to a deep snag, try using crimp on weights. By applying steady pressure the weight will slip off. Oh yeah, you can Texpose the soft plastic or nose hook it. The pressure from the weight will keep the hook in a horizonal position. If you use a mojo sinker or slip shot and peg it, you can then adjust the distance you want the hook from the bottom without having to re-tie the weight.
