BFM is right on with small suspending rapalas.I use husky jerks and pointers.Let the fish tell you how to retrieve and the size.couple turns of your reel will get the bait down.Pause, then twitch or slowly pull the bait with your rod only. then reel up slack.repeat til lure is back to you.Silver on clearer days and tennessee shad is what I like on overcast days.8 to 10 lb test line.I prefer spinning outfit.Most of the time not a real aggressive bite.The bass will usually eat the lure on the pause.Might feel like a weed is on your bait,set the hook! Could be a big old fatty, has been my experience.Have done well with a #5 shadrap also this time of year.Slow steady retrieve. Good Luck! Hope it helps
