Those deps are killer dude! 4in for drop shot or smaller ball head and the 5in just the way you're throwing them, I've ball headed a fluke style bait for years and crushed them, it's crazy the hype it has around it now.

It's the technique. Fluke would work but it seems like the rounder type seems more effective .

@jeremypierce1607Ай бұрын
The problem with a fluke is that most of them have a hook slot designed for more texas rigging. Look at something more like the zman chatterspike, hawg farmer/missile spunk shad, or rapala free loader. They will sit on a jig head better because of the solid body.

With no FFS within a foot off. With FFS slightly above the fish ur scanning could be on the bottom or suspended. It's more a suspended technique but will work just fine towards the bottom.

It varies depending on the Lake. You can find it in the handbook/online or go to a local tackleshop they'll know the regulations. You can also ask the park ranger at whatever body of water you are fishing and they'll let you know what is a keeper size fish on that perticular body of water.
