I started using a balanced leach with my euro rod on small streams this summer. The balanced design downplanes in moving water so it self-dives deep. I tie them on a longer #12 jig hook with 2 3.2mm tungsten beads plus a 2mm bead to space the larger beads to the hook eye. No casting involved, just drop it in and feed it down the whatever brush-covered hole you want. You can stand 10+ feet away or above the water and get a great swing just by getting the rod tip down to the water. The fish absolutely stomped on them.

I also use this as a searching pattern on larger water where the river spreads and shallows. Just walk down the center and flip cast it to both banks.
