I like Lindy Thumpin shads either in 1" or 2.5" sizes on a bullet jighead. They cast a mile and the action always seems to draw a bite. They recently changed their color scheme from blk/slvr bottom to blk/wht bottom. haven't used the new ones but might get some soon and try 'em out. I wore crappie out on beetle spins with white curlytailed grubs this past spring. I used a 1/8 ballhead jig.

Hard Bait: the yozuri pin minnow in rainbow - caught trout, gills, crappie, perch, lmb, smb, rockbass, fallfish, golden shinner and even have had pike break our line.

Soft Bait: 1/16 or 1/8 oz jighead with a little tubie, paddle tail, or grub
Soft Baits are my favorite.

Personal best smallie for me caught on 6# mono and 5 1/2' ML rod out of a canoe. Just glad I brought the net.
And here is a pig largemouth of got on the same set up and glad I had a partner in the boat with me this day.

Got this one with in 10 feet from the boat next to a patch of weeds.

Spinner: of coarse the bettle spin and also the joe's fly spinners are nice too.

Those are some good size fish there! Man on 6# mono?I won't fish for those guys on anything under 12#.

And on real thick weeds and pads i tend to stick with the 20 pound braid...I lose way too many fish if i use anything under that. I like using the senkos rigged weightless.

we use 1/32 oz chartreuse jig heads with 1 1/4 inch pink micro shad on 4lb test from May through most of August in stained water impoundments.

could be one of the following :rebel crawdad mepps spinner, rapala, rattle trap, beetle spin, and of course the trusty nitecrawler!

Panther martin spinner.
