FF61 I use the 9er's alot with a Penn 330GTI and 45# leadcore. I get about 5' in depth with each color out in the water. So if fishing say 15-20 water I run 21/2 to 3 colors to keep the rig near but not on the bottom. As 179 said if the blues are around I will not fish the rig but if say out to a spot like devilsbridge at Gayhead with 30' of water or more if the blues are on top I will start 50 yards out from them and get the rig down on the bottom before getting to the blues and this will almost allways get a few nice bass in the boat. Some say you don't get big fish with them but I have many fish over 30# some times two at a time on the rig. Last night was the best fish yet on it 51" and in the high fourtys for sure. Be sure to use a good 5' to 8' mono leader up to 80# with GOOD swivels. Best of luck.
