#6 sickle hook in a 1/32 jig and body of choice. Curls tend to ride higher if it's real shallow, but sometimes they wont touch a curl tail. Bobby Garland Baby Shad in 4 or 5 colors and switch til they tell you which one they want. You'll get hung a few times til you learn how deep to allow it to go, and then it's just putting fish in the box. Don't pass any wood in or emerging from shallow water during the spawn. #4 hook is my first choice but the #6 has landed me a lot of big fish and gets hung less. Once you get the hang of it, you can move to #4 sickle if you like. I landed 29 this morning on a #6, had 1 come off at the boat when I tried to swing one that was lip hooked. Too lazy to get the net. 4lb hi vis line helps cast the little jigs and see the bites. Line does anything you didn't tell it to, set the hook.
