    I would like to know how to set up to fish for eyes using chubs in fast water. The chubs are roughly 4-7 inches.

    I would use a 3 way rig, sinker weight dependant on current flow and boat speed. On hook throw the lips and maybe a stinger hook further back. Depending on how they are biting.

    Keep in mind the water is moving slower on the bottom.
