For those of us that side-drift from drift boats, we all know the importance of the backup. There are floats where the backup gets used in just about every slot (i.e. Upper Quinalt), and there are others where it only gets used once or twice during the entire trip. I usually rig my backup with a pink worm. That way when I cast it for the first time during that "window of opportunity" which occurs three hours into the trip, it dosen't have on rotten squid tentacles or dried out eggs.

I was wondering how others approach this situation and how you rig-up your backups?
