I do the best in shallow water between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m., fishing topwater baits such as buzz baits, poppers and crawlers around scattered vegetation in 1 to 5 feet of water

Bait- JackHammer 1/2 oz: Colors: Clear Water Shad, Fire Craw Trailer #1- Hog Farmer Spunk Shad (4.5): Color: Blue Gizzard Trailer #2- Big Bite Kamikaze (4.25): Color: Flame Thrower SPINNERBAIT

It excels in cold, clear water and is an excellent technique for catching bait for largemouth, stripers, and smallmouth bass

We tested this reel heavily in the fall of 2023, and its much smoother and offers much better line lay on the spool

For daytime tactics, choose small, 1/8- or 1/4-ounce models in shad colors
