Yum Flash Mob Jr. Best budget versus quality A rig around.

I've been fishing mine on a shaky head and dragging it on the bottom. I've got a few fish on it but I wouldn't call it a confidence bait just yet.

If I could only take 3 senko colors with me I would choose black/blu flake Green Pumpkin/blk flake and finally watermelon seed.

another vote for the DT series.

good eating sized blue.

The biggest fish I never caught was not caught on a Spro Bronzeye frog. I swear it would have went 9 if not ten. Drug it halfway to the boat before it threw my frog. I give up on them long ago. I can't catch much with them.

My favorite flat sided crankbait is the Rapala OG slim. Comes in OG Tiny(4 feet), Slim 6, and the OG Deep Tiny 7. They are balsa baits which are almost a must have for the pressured water I fish.

It would be a bladed jig for my biggest producer but I kinda don't count it in the jig category. It is more of a moving bait for me(same with swim jigs). The best jig jig for me is a flipping jig. A Dirty jigs, No Jack flippin jig(Usually in 1/2 oz.) with a Berkley max scent pit boss on the back

Thanks. I watched a bunch of youtube videos on drift fishing and I think I get it. I feel fairly confident that I can wing it and at least find a few. Appreciate the help.

Love Lady Landing gonna be a 7pm to 7am tourney.

A friend who runs a vet's charity here in Western North Carolina called me yesterday and is hosting a catfishing tournament. It will be next friday on Lake Hickory. I told him he could count me in as veterans charity work is exactly what I do. I have been on a few guided catfishing trips but other than that I have no clue what I am doing for catfish and it will be my first ever catfish tournament. I have the gear and I have the boat to do it but my knowledge is lacking. Anybody got any good tips to find them? I'm going to need all the help I can get! LOL Here's a pic of the biggest catfish I ever landed on a guided trip on Lake Wateree down in SC. 28 pounds even.

I have the Abu Adrian Avena Pro series spinnerbait rod which I always have a spinnerbait tied on.

I use a variant of Green pumpkin or watermelon for Hartwell. It is usually pretty clear. Other lakes that are a bit more dirty I use black with blue flake.

I seldom go larger than a 1/8th oz. on a ned rig ever.
