This weekend I learned a hard lesson with my baitcasters running braid to Fluoro. I lost 2 reels due to that FG knot disrupting. OMG! I found that ripping that bait thru the air catches every time! I am switching them to 12 and 15 pound fluoro going forward.

Thank you for answering my question. I have been searching for a go to worm for my Carolina, and wanted to try something more buoyant.

I caught my largest smallmouth in Midcoast Maine. Some of the best smallmouth fishing I have ever witnessed!

6 pounds even, Largemouth, caught this year on a 10” curly tail junebug

20 1/2” Smallmouth on a rapala orange and green. Scale didn’t work, so no weight.

Nice catch! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you also. Your school has challenged me to take more chances with baits I never considered. That confidence to believe you can catch something o t hose baits is game changing.

Ken Pfeiffer I’m trying to figure this lake out. Should be called more of a river.

I uploaded a photo with the Garmin data for the day. I was all in that the bass would be targeting blueback hearing schools. I threw all these baits with colors similar to this and a few late with darks due to visibility. The only thing they hit, Black & Blue senko, hook tip back side egg sack,and tip towards nose.
