The Berkley Sinking Minnow is a Gulp product that is excellent for working weed lines, docks and even bridge pilings. You can fish this lure drop shot, weightless or even Texas rigged with a very small weight. You will usually want to fish light line and a light action rod. Fish the lure slowly and keep the lure in the strike zone for long periods of time. When the fish bite, they will hold on.
