can some one please recommend a good hard bait for me. *(perferably

THANKS

Hard to beat Shadraps - many sizes and colors to fit all needs.

I got a 8-13 on a Strike King Series Five last month.

All crankbaits will catch fish. Pick the size to match the baitfish
and depth you want to fish and chunk it.
