Jet diver's=Salmon fishing.Deeper.6-15'
Hot-n-tots=Steelhead fishing.More action. 3-8'
Good luck,

Like said above "No divers for native steelhead's"
This ^^^
Although I like Mud Bug better than Hot-N-Tot.
Hot-N-Tot is a searcher, moving back and forth a bit which translates to an unsteady motion at the rod tip.
Mud Bug is a straight, reliable runner which produces a steady drum beat at the rod tip.
Do not like jets at all.
Would rather back bounce for sammins.
Also they give poor feed back at the rod tip.
Whereas with a Mud Bug, I know immediately when it's fouled.
Generally would use live sand shrimp with "two hooks tied solid".
The lower hook would be one size larger than the upper....(you feed them head first).
Size your hooks according to the size of your sand shrimp.
The larger, lower hook goes in under the "rib cage" and out his mouth.
The smaller, upper hook goes in under the "belly segments" and finishes so that the eye of the hook is flush or slightly above the "flippers".
Use the egg loop on the upper hook to gather the flippers.
Stack 3-ish very small beads (clearance for spinning bobbers) and then the drift bobber of your choice above.
I would use a small Spin-N-Glow.
This rig acts like a float rig when being deployed.
Don't take your eyes off the plug as it floats down into position.
A sand shrimp rigged this way is fairly durable.
