TD showed me his hanger rig recently. It's basically a two-jig drop shot rig using a piece of coat hanger wire as the weight. The genius part of it is that he uses his "weightless" jigs - made with hot glue heads instead of lead.
The four or five inches of hanger wire are snagproof, the two neutral bouyancy jigs presumably wiggle, wobble, and pole dance just above the bottom while TD simply drifts slowly along.
TD may please correct any of that I got wrong, but it's a brilliant system.
(My first thought - unvoiced - when I saw the rig was "Hmmm, I bet a few inches of solder wire would work exceedingly well instead of the hanger wire. Easy to bend/clinch through a loop at the end of the line, easy to pinch off the spool, or to shorten...")
