I caught one fishing on a 1/4 OZ BL Special Berkley jig & Ballet shape 108 in BL Special. All the rest of my fish on this 8 MILE trip were all caught on the black/silver Berkley Money Badger 4. I was throwing is fast moving current that had some slack water bordering. If you can find a spot you can throwing into the current and reel it out into the eddy/slack water you should definitely get bit!

The only bait I even used was the Berkley Money Badger 4 in black/silver. This bait continues to produce here & in other smaller fast moving waters all around southern Ohio. Look for fast moving current with some slack water next to it & you should get bit.
