Pitching the Spark Shad at stumps on a Nako 1/4 tungsten jighead. Once down there I’d twitch it and then swim it out and up and this guy fired up and crushed it! I was using the Lews Crappie Thunder rod and a Lews Speed Spin 100! The Spark Shad is a fish magnet, pick some up and have some fun!

I had never used this lure before, but it’s got a home in my tackle box! The thin design is awesome and the vibration is top notch. I ran this just above the vegetation and it got crushed! I also ran it along a weed patch and as it tickled the edge of the weeds they would fire out to get it! This is a fun lure to fish, pick some up and have some fun!

I found the bass on the end of the laydowns in 4-8 feet of water. Lowrance Active Target 2 and Humminbird Mega 360 worked great together to see the end of the laydowns and locate which ones held fish.

This isn’t the typical time of year to throw this but I was testing it out. It’s a Scrounger head from Luck-E-Strike paired with a 6.5 Quiver, that is a bit different color than listed. Mine is a Junebug color. I ran this along and over a mix of grass and some weeds. Third time through after I was learning how the Scrounger head moved through the water I killed it. It did a semi flutter and sank down to the grass. I started the retrieve again and this fish came up and inhaled it! The Quiver is a great trailer for bladed jigs. Scroungers, Ned Rig and killer on a drop shot! Grab some and give it a try!

It was a cool morning and I was casting the Flux Gill into an area with submerged vegetation. The color I was using was the Junebug which Omnia does not have in stock atm. I had that rigged weedless on a Mepps #3 Aglia inline spinner bait. I let hit the bottom and just sit for a bit. I twitched it just a bit in case I had a fish come over and see it on the fall. I gave it a quick pop and then started to crank it up out of the grass and that is when he hit! I thought it was a catfish as it stayed low. It wallowed up on the surface and then I knew it was a big bass. Such a great fight on my MAGS Custom 6’8 spinning rod. I got the fish in and realized it was a double digit hog! The Berkley Flux Gill was the key! If you’ve never tried it, give it a shot! The line I used was 12lb Sunline SX1 braid to a 12lb Sunline FC leader. The reel was a Shimano Miravel 3000
