Ken, this rig is the closest thing I know this side of using a net on them,bluegill love crickets, porcupine quills are the most sensitive strike indicator known to man , and the flyrods are so much fun and sensitive when playing the fish, I keep my line under my index finger on my rod hand and use it as my brake, and I alway strip my line in at 90 degrees to the rod so I never bump the reel . You'll get the hang of it. LOFR

The "Nail Knot" is the same knot used for the pre-packaged stop-knots for slip floats. I use those stop-knots. I just save the little plastic tubes they come on, when I need to tie a Nail Knot, I just use that little plastic tube.

makes the nail knot a little easier to tie i think

Well I tried it out yesterday... fishing in about 10ft of water with a slip bobber and worms. The lob cast was a little awkward at first but caught fish.
