Though I may start with a crank bait or spinnerbait, my go to bait would
have to be a soft jerk bait. If fish are active, I can work it fast on top,
if they have lockjaw, I can dead stick it. If the water is dirty, a big
black Sluggo can produce when worms don't seem to get bit. If the water is
super clear, I can drop down to 6 or even 4 lb test on a spinning rod and
work a Baby Sluggo or 3" Shad Assassin in a natural color at almost any
depth. I catch more fish on other baits during the season, but when things
get really tough, give me a soft jerk....
