What size is best for this bait? I want to get one but I want to make sure I'm not getting the wrong one. Does the size make much of a difference or is there one that's better?

The baits you're confident in and have had the most success with are the baits you'll want to be using in your tournament. There's no need in trying to throw something new for the first time during a tournament. Stick with the baits that work for you and you'll be fine.

Never used the yum but I'm in love with the dream shot. One of the best drop shot baits I have used.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the advice!

I'm doing some tournaments as a co angler and was wondering how many rods people usually take. I don't want to take too many but I still want as many options as possible. Thanks!

A 3" senko is very hard for me to beat when I'm going only for numbers of fish. I usually wacky rig it and catch a lot of small fish on it. It's one bait I'm confident I can get a bunch of small fish on at most any pond.

Here's an article saying a little of what he did and where he went http://www.scout.com/outdoors/wired2fish/story/1649125-evers-wins-2016-bassmaster-classic

29-3 for one day is probably the best way to win the Classic. Well deserved for Evers!!

I use them in all my boxes. Just throw a few throughout the box as evenly as you can and they work good. I've definitely noticed a difference.

Like others have said you can't go wrong with the dream shot. Has a great action with the shape of the tail. My best producing colors are dirt, ghost shad, and KVD magic.

Lipless!! I can't put a lipless down when ice comes off and that's pretty much the main bait I use. I also use some jerkbaits and dropshot.

I agree with Mosster47 on the spinnerbait. I would also get a small 1/4 oz lipless. You can do so much with a lipless and fish it in many different ways! I'd also get a 1/2 oz but a 1/4 is a lot more friendly from shore.

I would definitely use bigger tubes. The 4.5" Strike King Flipping tubes work great and get big bites.

What are you fishing for and where are you fishing? That info would definitely help in answering your question.

I really like the Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad and the Swim-n-Shiner. The caffeine Shad works better faster for larger action and the shiner works really well slower for a more finesse action. They're durability is also good as well.
