Tennessee Bass Fishing

[Ziggy Bones]

Just recently got back into bass fishing (vs throwing a night crawler with buddies, or flipping a rooster tail in for bluegill every now and again) and was wondering what anyone has had good luck with as far as baits go for East TN bass fishing. I've been chugging away with hard plastic swim baits and cranks, and had some success, but have not been able to get my jig game where I feel like it needs to be! I feel like I'm just "fishing in the dark" so to speak, with the jigs anyway! Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Keep on fishing hombres!
