This time of year under those conditions in my smallmouth world, we grind a crankbait. If that doesn't work we grind a different crankbait.

Specific colors have been harder to get in the past year. Tackle Warehouse has removed all colors accept the few they have left in inventory. Major Craft doesn't show them on their website anymore. It sure looks like they will be discontinued which is to bad, they are a great bait.

Good morning, Has Major Craft discontinued the Zoner Hunter Crankbait?

Hard to beat that Anaconda. Strike King - Rage Tail Anaconda(s) Roboworm(s) Zoom - Trickworm(s)

I agree.

@Further North & @Choporoz As an FYI, I did email Maxima directly last week asking the same question I posted above. To date, I have not gotten a response. Thank you both for your insight. PS: My hunch is that they are the same.

Does the word "Leader" represent the Line Spool Size (27 yards) or is there a Chameleon Leader Line and a Chameleon Reel Line?

I did a quick search but did not find the answer I am looking for so here it goes: I buy and use a lot of the Maxima Chameleon in the 27 yard leader spools. Is the larger 200 plus yard spools the same stuff, just more of it? Thank ya kindly!

Be Smart and Be Safe ....

I use two different soft plastic swim baits 90% of the time - Swing Impact or a Swim Senko depending on the situation. I would cut-off the tentacles if I owned it.

Keep it tight on the spool ...... line conditioner.

Aahh ..... use a rod that lights up at night.

There are many styles of a weighted hook with keeper. This one will explain what others above are recommending.

Gracious .... I see a couple crows on my front lawn and i get squirrely. I will take the winter snow.

Don't think for one minute i didn't have to Google that ....
