Rapala DT crankbaits?
if your gonna fish a shallow crankbait, fish a DT and your going to fish a deep diver, fish a Bomber Fat Free Shad or 8a

Salt
I think that salt is used to make human odors more than anything and when it gets wet it does away after several casts

Best line for open water casting ?
try berkley xt mono. work very well in cover and out of cover. get some clear 12-17 lb depending on what kind of fishing your doing
-
what would you use in this situation?
try fishing a large xrap. cast it out and work it up to the weed bed the let it sit for about 5 secs them reel back in
-
braid
if you are fishing clear water that may become a factor unless your are flipping cover and moving very quickly. otherwise i would try it out and it should be just like mono. another good choice is spiderwire and for spinning reels try fireline crystal in 6-10lb test

Frogs?
fish the zoom horny toad around sparse cover and through the SPRO bronzeeye in the thickest cover you can find and up against banks or around a large patch of stumps

Gulp Sinking Minnow
listen to this DEAD STICK THE BAIT. reel in about a foot of line a minute and use a large hook and watch your line. use on a 3/0 ewg and expose the hook point like a fluke and hold on!!!

use a 5/0 ewg gamagatsku or a 7/0 owner offset worm hook for bull ribbits will work great when using smaller frog baits try pegging a 1/16 tru tungsten t-rig. works great!!!

when using baitcasters and throwing topwater like a Heddon Swayback or crankbaits/spinnerbaits/buzzbaits and other moving baits when you are making about 3 casts for about every one you make with a jig or t-rig i constantly get blisters on my palms because using different grips will not work with the 'spook. any tips or products to make this painful problem go away

HELP!!!
thanks for all the tips. for the guy who said fish deeper structure, i have caught numerous bass with a bomber fat free shad over the only grass bed in the lake. one thing i forgot to mention in my original statement is that in the particular lake the bass are no more than 4 lbs. ANOTHER QUESTION REGARDING BEDDING BASS since the lake is quit small and the bass gobble topwater are there any particularly good topwater baits that will cause a reaction strike while the bass are on the beds

HELP!!!
hey yall i need some help. i live near a lake that i fish in about 4 times a week and we catch a great number of bass junk fishing with anything in our tackle boxes. but theres a catch...when those bass move up to bed they wont bite ANYTHING. I think i have caught one bedding fish since i have been fishing here. they always spook of and never bite or just do that nudging thing with their nose that they always do. any tips or suggestions???????
