I was targeting transition areas where prespawn fish would be coming to, and postspawn fish would be coming the other direction, Villines said

Eight-, nine-, or 10-inch tails are often much more effective

Line choice varies by cover type, but I settle for either 15-pound-test fluorocarbon or 20-pound Cortland Masterbraid

Its a very compact and sleek bait without many appendages, which allow it to slide across the waters surface just like a river rock
