How do you guys rig a soft jerkbait, Flukes, assassins, caffeine shads
ect.


I like to Texas Rig them with an extra wide gap 4/0 or 5/0 hook, lightly
skin hooking the point of the hook in the back to help keep it weedless.
This is a great rig for skipping under boat docks and overhanging tree
limbs.

I was guiding today, a young couple on their honeymoon. We did very well on
the smallmouth using flukes and wacky rigged stick baits. The "hot colors"
were pearl white and baby bass. There was a 5, a 4 and four 3 pound fish
caught today with a lot in the 1 - 2.5 lb. range. Considering the weather
conditions, east wind, cold front hit (high of 52) and spitting rain most of
the day, I was very pleased that we got into fish like we did. The water
temps cooled from 64 degrees to 58 degrees.
