I most always use R.I. sweet and smallie beavers and have had great success on both.
I usually tx rig them and pitch to cover but this morning i went out before the rain came and rigged a smallie beaver upside down and while there was nothing of any size the 5 I caught absolutely crushed that bait. I can't say whether it was something they haven't seen, It could have been the front moving in I truly can't say but those strikes were vicious.
