Paul, That Green Weenie under the Patriot does work well. Have taken a good number of warm water species on that rig. Both the Patriot and the Weenie. Only tried it for trout twice. I don't fish droppers for trout. Took trout on the Green Weenie, none on the Patriot. If you ever get to talk to George Harvey, have him tell you the story about the Green Weenie.
