Thats when you cross their eyes with a hookset. sometimes you might have to set the hook right away-specially if they are on the nest,cause they might just pick it up and drop it oustside the nest. Dont forget, you have to set the hook a little harder,cause your going through the plastic and then into the jaw.
Braid or mono...leader or no?

I usually use mono,no leader. ,but the braid and leader might be good too. I know that braid dont stretch,so you might not hafta set the hook quite as hard to get that hook through the plastic.

I found some bullet weights last night that aren't lead. They're made with some kinda synthetic stuff that is loaded with fish attractant.
