^^This^^ ... Now -  that's a nice 5 !

Black 3/8 jig with a Zoom sapphire super chunk trailer

1/4 oz. Mann's 1 minus

White and Chartreuse spinner bait

6" green pumpkin Senko

Zoom super fluke with no weight

It really depends on the season but I'll just assume it is post spawn.

 

1. Spinnerbait - 3/8oz white, since I don't know the lake I'll use the smaller size that will attract more fish but still get big bites.

 

2. Eakins Style Jig - 5/16oz, again, I don't know the lake or the cover so I'm going to choose a jig that can be fished in any kind of cover from grass to brush and rock.

 

3. Square Bill Crankbait - This is a bait that can be deadly all season and draws good reaction strikes.

 

4. Shaky head/4.5" finesse worm - 1/8oz and this is my skunk repellent, if there is fish in the lake I know I can catch one on this.

 

5. Lipless crankbait - 1/2oz in chrome/black back, this is a search bait that really works in all seasons but can also load the boat when they are chasing baitfish.

1.zoom super fluke Arkansas shad, 2.paradise tackle 1/2 oz flippin jig in green pumkin crawdad. 3. 3/8 ounce terminator spinner bait willow/Colorado blade white chartrues. 4. 3/8 oz strike king red eye shad black back chrome.5. Zoom 6 inch lizard motoroil.

#4: Cranks Baits; shallow/medium/deep
