Used a swimjig while searching for better grass. Once we got bit on the swimjig we slowed down and flipped the submerged grass. Had about 15#s but caught 20-25 fish on the day.

I used the above mentioned baits to catch smallmouth and large mouth bass and I also used a power bait worm in bluefleck to catch largemouths. I caught 17.8 lbs in one tournament that I fished the bulk came on tubes and one on a power worm. I used the power worm for the rest of that week and finished 3rd over all. Forgot to mention that I also caught walleyes each day using the same baits
