Crankbait rods, am I thinking about this right?
St Croix Premier 7' MHM is a great all around crankbait rod. There's no need to spend $400 on a moving bait rod. Allen

This is LPO's suggestive chart for frame sizing. R3 is the most common size frame for most 3/8 to 3/4oz spinnerbaits on the market. Allen

I get it now
Jackall Drift Fry Mellow Soft Plastic Swimbait - 5.2 Inch — Discount Tackle There is a video in the above link on how to fish the bait. I have had good like the past 2 years fishing this hover stroll whatever you call it technique. While I do have electronics 90% of the fish I catch on this are >5' in clear water. You do not need special jigheads or baits for this either as the best setup for me has been a ball or darter head 1/16oz with a 3-4" drop shot minnow of some kind. The CORE Hover jigheads work but are such a PITA to get straight in the bait I have quit using them. Allen

TW 10% off gift cards heads up
Tried placing an order lately somewhere else and it wasn't until it calculated shipping that I learned 1/2 of what I ordered was out of stock. I hate when this happens because what I really wanted to order is what's missing. Allen

Alex led me to this:
Guess this technique is suited for the new Winged Fluke Zoom came out with. 4" Winged Fluke - Zoom Bait Company Last count 2 years ago I had 72 hand pour and 84 spincast molds in the garage. Down to about 400lbs of lead so that could limit me.😄 Allen

Alex led me to this:
Why didn't someone post about these 6 months ago? I really could have used something like this for the clear summer river conditions. Guess I will just add another $25 worth of these jigheads to the ever-growing bill of jigheads I have bought lately. Allen

Found some OLD z-man Chatterbaits, Strike King Pure Poison jigs & OG Booyah Bladed Jig-Boogie blade? These any good?
Somewhere in my basement I have a bunch of chatterbaits like the brown one in the upper left corner. Bought them at Sportsmans Liquidators years ago for $0.50 each just to get the blades. Now that you can buy chatterbait blades again they are just part of the stuff I need to get rid of. Allen

Favorite jig trailers?
There are tons of different trailers on the market. So for the purpose of simplification you need only two. Action: these are the ones that have appendages that flap,swim, and cause commotion in the water. These are what you use in warm water aggressive bite. Subtle: cooler water, non-aggressive bites when a Subtle presentation works best. The trailers in this category are plastic chunks or pork. If you have no idea what to start with I recommend a Zoom Super Chunk that matches the jig color. I have fished this trailer for over 20 years and it has worked in every situation. Allen
