The 3 way rig would have to be my favorite rig to use. I adjust the sinker drop line to control how far I want the bait off the bottom. I have useed up to a 2 foot sinker line and as small as 4 inches. I always start out with different length to find out where they like hitting the bait at the most. A lot a the length depends on the amount of current you're fishing too.............Jeremy

I normally use the tear drop style bank sinkers. I have tried many types over the years and I find those to hold to the bottom the best using a 3 way rig.........

That will work for one technique. You ever stick the far outside poles with no rolls and let the inside ones drift back and forth slowly in hope of covering more area? Granted, It depends on the boat position, water current and depth.

Normally if I want the outside rod to stick then I will use an oversized bank. I have a bank mold that makes an 18oz sinker. There is times though when I want that outside rod to move. If I have my boat position right on the inside of a channel line and throw my outside rod towards the center, the bait will find itself right on the channel ledge.
Vince you're right about a lot of it depends on the boat positioning and the amount of current that is being fished.

The various undercuts is what I try to find with the sweep going back into the bank from the middle of the river. They will lay right that at the side. Hardest part is putting the boat just on the inside of that ledge.
What do you like better. Inside or outside cuts in the river for the bank?

I myself like the outside cuts better.
You're right about being hard to anchor the boat right on the ledge. That is why a like my outside rod to be able to move a little so I make sure I find it. It's all about persise anchoring. There is times I will throw an anchor 3 or 4 times to just make sure I'm exactly where I need to be. I'm hoping my new LCX25C will help with that in the future. I think it will for sure if I'm going back to a spot.............

I am still trying to figure out what scanner I want on the back of the boat. The Bottom Line I have on the center console is mainly just to read the river.
Here is one that everyone needs to know for the 3 way.. What is the normal length of your hook leader? Why would you shorten it or make it longer?

The reason the hook leader is important is based on the amount of current you have. A rule of thumb is the more current the shorter the leader and the slower the current the longer the leader. The other reason would be if you're fishing with live bait around a lot of timber. A long hook leader there will allow the bait to wrap itself around wood. If you try to use a long leader in fast current then you bait is going to present itself in a whip like motion. The bait is going to be moving way to much and fast.........................Jeremy

like a carolina rig
bait then swivel then sinker
the fish can pick up the bait and swim off with out feeling the weight of the sinker. The sinker can slide up your line.

Is that with a slip sinker on the main line or with a sinker tied to a leader and swivel that slides above your bait leader with the swivel and bead?

bait then leader then swivel then bead then sinker slide then main line
the sinker slide is a sleeve that you can attach your sinker to. Makes it fast to change from the 8-10oz to 4 oz or from bank to pyramid to no roll sinker
