Some editing may be in need here in the illustration text. Going to be pretty hard to detect a strike with an 8 or 15 pound bank sinker on the end! How is the leader for the hook connected to the dropper? Gotta love the togs!
We've been doing this off headboats for several years here in NC. Very good technique for vermillion snapper and triggerfish. We've been so limited here on when we can fish for various species like red snapper, grouper, and now Black Sea Bass that we've had to figure out how to make other types of fishing fun. The Lucanis are very good but very expensive. A good ol' bucktail and a sqid strip of a pork rind work almost as well for a tenth of the price. The Braid Thumper sqid was also a good alternative but the popularity of this technique has driven the cost of these lures through the roof....
