The live cricket rig was just a unweighted bobber maybe 15-18" above the hook, with two larger split shot halfway between.

Frankly, an ugly, ugly set up. BUT, lethal!

I guess with the reduced water visibility, such a cumbersome live bait set up would go unseen a bit more than in clear water.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
