I am not just telling you this because I sell rags, but in high water they are deadly, ask anyone who fishes with them. When everyone is tossing eggs and shrimp under a bobber, try drifting a rag with a shrimp cocktail. Alot of times showing a fish something new or different is the best you thing you could do. What do you have to loose? You are standing on the river bank anyways, why not try something new and you may be suprised at what turns up. As far as rags go, email me for some colors that I can let you know about that may increase you hook ups.
