Sounds cool, do I need to do a snap upgrade?

Not at all. The Mini Max is like a mini Jackhammer. Great components. What do you use for trailers?

Perch seems to be the main forage, but anything

I'm also fishing the jersey lakes and you're right that we don't get a lot of stained water.  It takes a lot of of rain to dirty up most of the places here up north.  My usuals in vibrating jigs are natural colors.  Start with green pumpkin and add something.  Sometimes its a flash of orange, blue, or purple.  I carry green pumpkin over white and over chartreuse (dirty shad and mud shad in Siebert's tremors).  If its a lake with shad or herring (we do have both here) then I like the mud shad variant.  That said, if they are going to eat a green pumpkin tremor, then they will eat a mud shad tremor.  The specific accent isn't the be all end all since all of the lakes around have bluegills, red ears, pumpkinseeds, and sunfish and all of them are always on the menu.  If I'm fishing Hopatcong or the open waters where the fish are keying on herring then I'll swap to a white type pattern (green back shad was my top 2021 producer).  Mostly I stick to green pumpkin variants.  Also, before I paid $15 for a jackhammer I'd pick up three Tremors from Siebert.

Perch seems to be the main forage, but the bass will quickly snap up any sunnies they see. I will give the tremors a look.

I have one loon plopper 110 that doesn't see much time on the water but I will try it.

Don't waste your time with it.
