I've used the bounce ball/dodger with live bait as well as artificials. Peddling on a Hobie makes it easy to get the right speed, paddling would work with a rod holder or if the drift is fast enough. Depending on the weight and depth I need around 2-3 mph speed to bounce it right. Slow drifting might just drag the weight instead of bouncing it but with the right rod flex it could work.
