Everyone's excited, weather is warming, that good bite is about on.

What is your favorite bait to throw at those pre-spawn beauties?

(You may choose more than 1)

I like to throw crankbaits over top of the growing grass. I also like to pitch a jig to structure, and on a good windy day a spinnerbait bite can't be beat.

All of the above.

1.  Cranksbaits and Lipless Crankbaits

2.  Jerkbaits.

3.  Shaky Head

4.  Jig and Pig.

5.  C-Rig.

6.  Wacky.

7.  Drop Shot

Depending on the water and weather, they can move around on any given day.
