I use a Ultra-Light spinning combo for about 90% of my fishing here in North Texas. I think I would be hard pressed to find a more deadly bait than a RR Jig with a Curl Tail Grub. Another although pricey bait that was brutally effective on Bass this year was the Rapahla X-5 slash bait I believe it was...it was the small 7 gram size which is a 1/4 ounce and about 2.5 inches long. Another one that worked well was a 3/16th Chatterbait jig head with a small 3 inch Fluke threaded on it. I landed 1/2 pounders all the way up to 6 pounders on these lures using this combo with 4 lbs test line and had more fun than I have had in years doing it.
