Heres the baitfish (from LBJ) and a jerkbait that wasnt tryin to match it but happens to do a good job of it: Looks to me a Vision 110 with innerestin hooks

Baits 2 inches and less are best at this time of year

The System Fundamental A drag system can be compared to a brake system, designed to keep enough resistance and tension to the fishing line to keep it from breaking, usually at the weakest knot

Pair it with a fluorocarbon leader

Despite being able to throw the lures a mile with accuracy, what truly won me over was the heft it displayed in steering violent fish away from snags and otherwise certain escape

These fish are often in the upper middle section of the water column, which is reachable with plugs that dive about 1-2m
