Water temp was 61 degrees with 10-15 miles per hour wind. Cruised along the banks casting the 3” kietech easy shiner on a weighted 1/0 1/8oz swimbait hook. It was overcast so I added a gold under spin to the weighted swimbait hooks. You can buy the loose willow blades, snap rings, micro swivels and make them your self for pretty cheap. I just slide the swivels over the hook before rigging the kietech. We caught 32 bass just slow rolling the swimbait along the reeds over submerged grass mainly in 2’-6’ of water.

I used the the Rapala Freeloader. It is a 4.25" jerk bait style lure that has ribs and a really pointy tail. I did not experience any blue gills but I would think they would bite the tail right off pretty regularly if you are fishing around them a lot. I fished the the same bait all day and it held up great. The Jig Head is a VMC Hybrid Swim bait Jig Head in 3/16 oz. You have to spin the bait onto the keeper but it worked great.
