Terminal tackle , probably the most over looked item . Do your re search on new hooks , sinkers etc . Mojo rig weights , tungsten hooks , new drop shot hooks , etc .

Rapala dt4, bandit 100 , ima square bills are a fine choice. No one brand or type crankbait will be the ticket all the time. On a side note , keep your eyes & ears open for yard sales and estate sales . I picked up several high dollar fishing stuff for next to nothing.

Bass fight club . They never talk about it so thats why you don't know.

I have have used a dropshot in what most people would almost considered mud . I use solid BLACK , fish will hold tight to cover if literally on or next to . As far as weight goes generally I use 1/8 - 3/ 16 max . But river fishing everything changes .

Probably not I would say , I have a local tackle store that tried the ima line up . I quickly scooped up what I could I get my hands on , I was also told I was the only one to give them a shot .

I believe Aaron martins has his own Gamakatsu drop shot hook , I have been wanting to check out .

Zoom finnese worm cheap compared to how many fish I catch .

Dropshot hooks I am fond of the owner mosquito hooks in 1/0 to 2/0

I personally use a Dobyns 704cb graphite for jerk baits , top water , many reviews on tackle tour , you tube etc .

perfect statement , there are times where I will by instinct feel something different and I will sweep the rod to feel any excess of pressure and sure enough a good percentage of the time its a fish .

I am surprised raider has not put a death metal t shirt on his pup yet .

Half the time some of the side affects are worse then simply taking the medicine .

If they catch fish I will purchase the item within reason . However I tend to research an item to death before purchasing to see the goods and bad of each item . I have Rapala dt 4 crank baits along with Lucky Craft 1.5 crank baits , both serve the same purpose however one shines over the other in certain areas compared to the other. There is no right or wrong answer here , however some lures are designed to catch fisherman .

I can see why you would be hesitant , I am using a medium heavy 705cb so it can handle more weight a straight medium would not be the best suggestion .

I use my crankbait rod for large jerkbaits , top water , spinnerbaits .

Welcome . Where in Georgia are you located?

Drop shot , shakey head , small finness jigs . Spots love anything rock . Spend time locating rocky cover on your graph and then you will find spotted bass.

Ghost minnow , blue gill.

Bank fishing during the spawn. In a super shallow cove to skinny for a boat .Quiet amazing seeing the fish hit so violently and feeling the rod doubled over.

Noticed this a couple of weeks ago haha

What about changing line size or adding split rings to the treble hooks for additional weight to have a slow sink . My personal favorite is wrapping wiring around the front treble hook to have a more precise depth control. I dropped to 6 lb fluro to get my luckycraft 78 dd to go alot deeper so hope this helps someone.

I shop locally, however I have it made as where I live I have a bass pro , cabelas , academy , dicks retail stores all around. However i'm not so much into big chains based more over they just about carry the same stuff or there own brand to a point then fight over pennies for the same stuff . The local tackle store tends to carry a lot better variety that others dont but they do have medium to higher end stuff like tackle warehouse so I dont mind spending $$ for other fishing equipment or gear.

I use a gerber version.
