I have had some luck with the DOA free lined but the challenge is detecting strikes when there is slack or a belly in the line. Do you watch the line or do something else to let you know when to set the hook?
100% correct. No way to prospect for trout with a free lined DOA, but once you find a school, it is as effective as any artificial this time of year.

Great information Jerk Bait, have never had any much luck with DOA’s. Would have loved to attend that seminar at Haddrell’s Realfin talked about.
Lot’s of undersized trout biting right now in Beaufort.
