Split Shotting Or Mojo Rigging

A simple finesse method for either shallow or deep water.

Tackle

Small, round split shot weights or cylindrical Mojo weights are positioned 6 to 24 inches up the line. In deep water, the weight helps the lure sink; in shallow water, it drags the bottom, while the bait floats slightly above it.

When/Where to Use

Fairly clean bottoms and sparse cover; good water clarity. Bites can be very light, with only a "mushy" sensation.
