use drift bags to slow you down on windy days sometimes that slow lift works but change it up. small fast hops faster pull ups just make sure you thump the bottom I pull up a little faster up it helps me feel the fish better if you feel anything different at all on your line set the hook it may be a tick - bump or a little extra weight .have used minnows on both hooks but mainly just on the jig hook the minnow on the stinger likes to come around and tangle on you jig
