The reason I bought a Long A in the first place was because it was castable on bait-casting gear . The reason why I have over a dozen of them is because they catch them.
I like the Bomber Long A in silver flash on bait casting gear with 12 lb mono. That mirror insert flashes white like a shad.. The model with three trebels , I think its 3/8th oz.
I like to throw the floating minnow baits post spawn along secondary points and cover in spawning coves and the banks leading away from said coves . Its a big fish pattern . I mostly let it set for awhile then gently twitch them but other retrieves can be employed. .
I fish a lake choked out with chara algae a lot with a spinnerbait . Sure the lure gets bogged down in it often but I have caught limit after limit with one. Short accurate cast at the edges and lanes presents the lures to a lot of bass and not much wasted water on the retrieve.
Me too . My boat does not handle strong winds . Its not a bass boat , its a deck boat and catches a lot of wind . Its comfortable though . Good for naps , I even slept in it over-night.
A lot depends on where you are fishing .Around these parts, pre spawn equals dirty water . Dirty water equals shallow cover . Shallow cover equals spinnerbaits . Connect the dots right , fish are caught.
When fishing a spinnerbait and catching bass on the outside below the mouth , the lure is probably being retrieved below the bass and they strike at the blades, hooking themselves under the mouth . If that happens more than once try retrieving higher.
