I notice you seem to fish the lure high up in the water, where I tend to hit the smaller fish. Not sure your depth of water there, but do you ever hit bottom first?Posted 2026-09-22 · checked 2026-09-27 · Unverified personal experience
Great video but a few points you never mentioned clarity of the water at the depth your fishing, a major one I noticed you changed to the shad colour but it was bigger which also makes a difference. But I agree the white was winner 🏆Posted 2026-09-20 · checked 2026-09-27 · Unverified personal experience
