Need help. First question If I am catch good bass 2.5-3 lbs down in the weeds on a 5" senko worm, what would you recomend trowing to catch a good 5 lb kicker in those same weeds??

Also had a battery go dead on me today in a tournament, My livewells quit working so i weighed in an hour early so my fish would not die. I believe it cost me placing in this tournament. Useually 13 lbs will win you some money, but not today. Any recommendations on a good cranking battery that will run my livewells for a 7 hour tournament??    >

GYCB Kreature, weedless and weightless. I have been having grat luck with these baits around vegetation:
