Dragging a Strike King Rage Bug rigged on a wobble head produces big bites. Use a 3/4to 1 ounce wobble head with a 3 or 4/0 VMC Wide Gapworm hook. I usually throw the baits on y flipping setup. Braided line helps you feel every rock as you wobble head bounces along the bottom. You can reel slow or most times I drag it a few feet with the rod and reel slack. Make long casts and let the bait drop until your line slacks up. I then just work it back to the boat while maintaining bottom contact the whole time.
