The lightest float for the water conditions and tip it with the following:

Option 1: Small bag of eggs about the size of a dime or nickel

Option 2: White, Pink Pearl Tube jig tipped with a waxie

Option 3: Size 6 or 8 black stone

Size 8 hook with two waxies

In our low, cold, clear water this is the ticket. I also try to use no more than Maxima 6 pound as a leader. If I can get by with it, I'll run 4 pound.
