Another idea similar to drop shotting...
Thread a hook or a barrel swivel onto your mainline, no knots so it just slides freely. If it is a swivel, tie a very short or slip on a hook. Then at the bottom of your mainline, add a weight. The weight will go to the bottom, but the hook/bait will fall very very slowly, through all the depths and striking zones, until it hits a split shot, or the bottom.
While I recognize the effectiveness and benefits of said tactic, I may be missing something, but: wouldnt having a free sliding hook affect the hook-set if you get hit early but have a bait slacking to the bottom? I know my own answer to degrees, "sharp hooks, good set" all that, but still.
