My favorite is a black mini microspoon tipped with a couple maggots, fished under a bobber. Second is a black ant that grandpa bob makes. I fish it tightline. Add a waxworm or few maggots and cast and let it fall into the beds. Third is a green and black 1/32 popeye hair jig. I can catch gills in any water i fish with these three baits. This year i've tied my own hair jigs. Will report back after i give them a try.
