Decided to change to the spinning rod with the baby shad and a 6th Sense Pecos under spin. This guy nailed it on the first cast. Got two more before having to call it quits. They are definitely watching undersized baits. With spinner bait with willow leaf baits were a bust in the same area. "

Trevor Lo reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Daiwa Tatula Elite AGS Spinning Rods on Mille Lacs Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Focused primarily on transitions between gravel and cobblestone under 8 feet of water. Lots of fish cruising around getting ready to spawn, with the males being shallower than the females. The larger females seemed to still be staging out a bit deeper waiting to push up. Finding transition lines and casting parallel to them was the key to getting bites. When we were hooked up, there were generally more fish that also followed up to the boat. The cleaner the rocks were, the better."
