Holy cow, wow, a whole bunch of bs about divers and the willy got deleted out of my post...FireFox you do me nothing but give me a headache... Anyhoo, like Osmosis said. Run 'em with a diver. I don't like the lead trick, but that is purely personal preference, and depth you want to fish. But I just don't fish for Chinook in that deep of water, and I have divers in a few sizes from10-30, so I'm covered on divers,. Normally you have a depth finder, and can determine what number diver to would run from that. Sometimes fish will hang in 12-14 feet of water, and you can easily geat away with "stripping," or "the nakie shaky" as we called it in Alaska. Or running plugs, or "dancers/shakeys" straight to your main. Sliders work well with plugs, because you can get reaction hit when they hang for a moment, then pull free, and start hunting again. Worked in a brushy creek in Alaska, don't see why it wouldn't work in the Willy.
