Kage Or Tatula Elite

Spinnerbait - Bottom Up Beeble Jerkbait - Megabass Vision 110 Jr +1 Lipless - Yo Zuri Jig - Keitech Football or Beast Coast OW Sniper Square bill - ehhh Lucky Craft (don't throw much). Crankbait - Evergreen CB-13 Soft body swimbaits - Osp do live Shad or Raid Okasana slide Hard body swimbait - Tiny Klash

I jig lakers a good amount. Aluminum reel body is super nice to have and will last longer. Daiwa Eliminator, BG, or Procyon 3000 or 4000. Or Shimano Spheros will work well.

The holy trinity plus 1 Same here. Except I don't have a Campy budget.

Hurt Ducketts feelings... get basically kicked out. During practice Fish with a guide known for spot loading... get a tiny fine. Oh the angler is sponsored by Duckett too. Just as a person with common sense this is such a bad move by mlf.

For me it's the company business practices and talking heads that turn me off from baits. There's a lot of alternatives on the market.

Spawn cherry and SB OB Shad

100lb flour leaders work too

Make sure your screwdrivers are JIS type for the tiny screws to access the driveshaft

Black Blue and purple is my favorite jig up here on Champlain.

5x11x4 and 3x10x4 3x8x4 5x9x3 8x12x4

I like my Phenix Recon 762 for this stuff

I have the legend extreme 68Mxf, it's an amazing rod for jerkbaits. Poppers, 1/2ish oz spooks, Square bills and small cranks work good too. I've used 1/4oz keitech footballs with it too and those worked because of the scrawny hook.

The red and silver JM is a Daiwa Procyon. Do it.

There's big and small bait all year I don't think I makes much difference.

Carolina Rigs are remarkably versatile if you get to thinking about them. It's windy (doesn't have to be). You know there are spawners in front of you be you can't see them due to the ripples or the water is churned up a bit. Tie a 5-6' leader on and start casting. First thing you'll feel the bed when you get on it, duh obvious... the male will defend the nest 99% of the time. Slowly pop the weight off the bed and the male will follow. After 5-6 ft along comes the Craw or whatever bait. Leave that on the bed and whamo angry momma eats it because baby daddy is chasing a chunk of lead. I've done things like this all over the northeast with clear water and big line with lots of hardware made no difference. Use a floating bait and it's the opposite of a free rig. Pull the rig and the bait goes down. Stop it and it'll float up (floating ribbits work very well). Flat sunfish type baits (gill flat) glide left and right when worked in pops. Not the same linear presentation as usual. Yeah at first thought it's super boring but once you get thinking about them and experimenting they're amazing. Now ned rigs... barf.

Where in Ontario are you??? I got a buddy in Massena NY on St Lawrence who'll hold it for you

I have that rod. I like it for up to the full 3oz. Great 6" magdraft rod and pretty good with spro kgb shads. 75 bucks from St Croix now is a no brainer. I've had no issues with the handle yet, even if I do I have their warranty.

If you can find a previous generation MOJO Bass or Blue Label Bass X 710Hf (1-4oz NOT THE .75 TO 3oz model). Great jig hook rods for $~100

Exactly. I put a float board on the back (always float on top and weight the bottom) and it's a great slow sink now.

No 873 but an 874 with the same specs as an 873. Very cool

I believe they are

Megabass Levante Perfect Pitch Or Evergreen Combat Stick 73 Hmf

Zillion by a mile.
