go to lite bite slide divers and take the guesswork out of the short fish. don't use the slide part of the diver. tie an o ring to one end of a 6'n leader then lace the line through the back. set the rod tension tight enough your not getting false releases. then set lure tension loose enough that it'll trip on white perch but doesn't give false releases.
