I have a very sparse 2 tube bag, 80% naturalistic, but do carry a darter and a littleneck popper. I call the littleneck my dinner bell. On a slow still night when I hear fish but dont get conversions. I will take 3-5 casts over the most probable structure with that popper splashing water. I dont expect to catch anything, but use it to draw fish in closer and energize them. I quickly follow up with a needle and often will start converting fish. Loud can compliment naturalistic.

One of my favorite methods, especially standing on my favorite rock at PJ, was a sinking little neck, cast out and immediately pop a few times, then slowly swim it in.
Far more effective for me than popping constantly
Works with darters and heavy tail needles also
I think the little ruckus brings fish and the slow swimmer is an easy meal.
