hell, id eat those. i think i would be too tempted to put a hook on those things which would be illegal up there if you had something trailing behind it.

i cant remember where but i read something about a guy that used small squarebill type cranks, painted all black, as a means to bring smaller rubber worms down to the bottom and not get hooked. he took the hooks off of the crank and tied a 3 foot leader to the rear hook to the worm
