Slither rig
Yes ~ and for years before The Slither rig ~ A-Jay Here's the rig, from the main line to the hook: -A Bobber Stop - A 1/2 oz tungsten weight (or whatever you want) - a Boss Punch Hub - this is placed inside the skirt collar - The skirt of your choice - A parasite clip (optional, but does help prevent the plastic from sliding down the hook) - A 5/0 Owner wide gap plus EWG hook (#5139 - very stout, I love this hook) - Your favorite soft plastic - pictured is a Power Bait Beast A-Jay

Distinguishing between rocky bottom and bites?
See Bolded text Below ~ A-Jay Keeping a high rod tip during most any point in the retrieve and with most any lure or bait will encourage it to run higher in the water column. Can be used in shallow water situations or even to avoid a potential snag. A-Jay

Distinguishing between rocky bottom and bites?
Sure - it's a fairly simple concept to grasp and the difference in depth recognized will be directly related to rod length. A lowered rod on the retrieve encourages the bait to travel lower in the water column than a high point rod position. So when bringing a lure up a drop, grade or steep bank, using a lowered rod position at the start and through the middle of the retrieve and then as the bait approaches the boat (or bank) raising the rod to keep the bait close to but off the bottom so as not to foul, may get you a few more strikes. Not magic, just another tool. A-Jay

Motor does not like E10 gasoline?
May I suggest you do it with a flashlight, in the middle of the night, & while wearing some kind of mask. Just for old time sake. Oh, and pretend it's someone else's truck . . . A-Jay
