Doug, I use bead chain for the slower sink rate, and usually on #8 hook, but I'm still working to fill panfish boxes. I mostly fish stillwater and don't need more weight.
Most people double haul so they can throw their mistakes further - Bernard "Lefty" Kreh - R.I.P. Glass rod, click & pawl, ugly flies
Have you had a lot of luck with these? I've never fished with cypert minnows for sunfish or crappie. I usually use buggy patterns for sunfish and something with some weight, like a 1/32 ounce jig head fly for crappie.
J-moe, I can't say a lot of luck but on a jig hook I have caught a few. Kinda like a tiny crappie jig on a floating line and short leader for depth control.
