My other old favorites are the Jitterbug, the Hula Popper, Creek Chub Pikie, Heddon Torpedo, and, of course, the Dardevle Spoon, which is reported to have caught more record fish than any other lure
I wouldnt say its awful by any stretch, but it is noticeable
Topwater Topwater can be great for bedding bass, but its particularly effective in the post spawn, as well as the shad and bluegill spawn
For a deeper dive into knot security before your next outing, Best Fishing Hook Knots is worth a look
With 10# line and light lures these reels outcast my best spinning reels by 5-10 yards and very seldom backlash if adjusted properly
Although I use the crankbait and the swimbait Ive mentioned earlier to fish fast, once I slow down my fishing, I like the shaky head worm and the jig to fish more slowly and be able to feel everything on the bottom
