During the prespawn i like to use smaller crankbaits usually 2" like a Bomber Square A (great crankbait), 1/4 oz. or 3/8 oz. jig with a mister twister grub or some kind of craw like a 4" berkley havoc craw fatty, and sometimes a suspending jerkbait like a rapala huskey jerk.
During the spawn i like to use a lizard like a 6" zoom lizard texas, or carolina rigged over beds, also like to use stick baits in the bed like a 5" senko or a 5" yum dinger weightless (they'll hit those like crazy), sometimes i'll go topwater (which i love) and use a zoom super fluke in the shallows over beds, and then i'll use a mister twister grub on a standard jighead, and also swimbaits like yums lil' suzee or a storm swimbait.
Now postspawn, the fish go through a weird stage at this time from deep to shallow and then they'll hide once again i dont know why but again i'll use a bomber square A crankbait, a smaller 3" swimbait like a storm swimbait, i'll wacky rig a 5" stickbait like a yum dinger, and then use a type of grub (mister twister)
