6th Sense Crush 75x is about to replace the Spro Little John as my favorite squarebill after this year. The 75x in gizzard shad hammered them this year!

  Hi JFrancho.

 

I do the Lake Ontario, Clayton , NY  river stretch. My weeds have dropped off so badly in 3 years that No more spawning of any larger game fish.  Even the perch are less. Cormorants & Great Blue Herons,  gulls almost gone.  We are dying.  Want to blame the dam Green People For stopping all the sewage being eliminated & piped to treatment plants.  Seasonal fishing groups are dropping off. Tackle shops down. It all follows for PRETTY BLUE WATER.  Smart charters are running to the lake.  That V H S fish disease is doing a good job also. Gobies & bait are almost gone.  Hope your fishing places are up & getting better.

Jig Rig, Ima Skimmer, Timber Tiger (Finally tied one on after 10 years of sitting, I wish I would have tried them years ago but the colors are not the nicest, but they are a reliable crank for fishing shallow).

 

Recently the River2Sea Wide Glide 120 Suspending and I just ordered 2 more S Waver's hoping they work better than the first 2 that I purchased. I also started using the Lunker City Original Sluggo's and glad I started to throw them again, I think the fish are worn out from Flukes and Senkos....

 

Power Team Food Chain Tubes were a pleasant surprise as well. I use the smaller size and fish it like a jerkbait most of the time and it is a good numbers bait for sure, I look forward to using it some more this year.

Weird, I'm still smoking them. Might be time to try something other than your Rapala and Rebel. The game has changed, but the fish are there, and they're bigger than they were 20 years ago.

I became a big fan of the swinging jighead and DUO Realis baits this year.  Had good success with both.

BPS Sassy sally swimbait and rage tail space monkey paired to a KVD swim jig has been good ot me ths year. 

 

I never had a soft swimbait with an action I liked until the Sassy Sally and that's thanks to it being a Skinny Dipper knock off.  The rage tail products are made from too soft a plastic given their high action design IMO, but the Space Monkey is a tank that lasts for fish after fish after fish.  The KVD swim jig likes to "ride up" a weed stalk rather than trying to plow through it, making it highly weedless and the inverted wire bait keeper that stabs into the bait rather than poking out through it, is genius.

I fished an 1/8 ounce finesse jig for the first time this year for river smallies.  I'm still learning how to fish it and can't wait to keep throwing it.

Swinging football head was probably my only real new addition to my lineup, but it was a big addition.
