Gambler BB Cricket. Other baits can catch fish, but there is only one BB Cricket. caught fish on all colors, but Florida 5-0, bowens silver, junebug, and backatya are what stay in my boat.

no-one should forget about the Cricket

Don't overlook a stick bait like a senko or yum dinger for punching.

 

They may look stupid with a huge sinker pegged to their nose, but they slither right through the thickest mats, and catch the fire out of fish that have been bombed with all kinds of creature, beaver, and craw type baits.

I love the berkley pit boss!

I like using brush hogs. They slide through thick mats a lot easier with less weight.
