Apart from fishing for carp I use them for live-baiting for perch. If there are no pike I use a Fluro trace, if there are I use a light wire trace. I use a fairly heavy weight with a length of line to a swivel. I thread the smallest type of Zeppler type float up the mainline then pass the mainline through the swivel and connect it to the trace. So basically a running paternoster with the float free running. The rod is pointed directly at the float with no bobbin or indicator on the line. I set the bait runner just tight enough so that the live-bait can’t take line. As the perch approaches the float starts to jiggle about and as it lakes the live-bait you get a single tone. It’s very sensitive and as the resistance is constant I have had very few dropped takes.
