Recently, I have seen a guy do really well on summer runs with a small jet diver and some sort of shrimp. I am intrested in trying this method but don't have much experience fishing this way. The man anchored his boat, let out his rig, and put the rod in the holder and was practically plunking his bait. I was wondering if you have to use some sort of spin-n-glo or birdy drifter, or anything that spins with your bait, or can you use plain bait? What bait work best?

Thanks for any advice!
