t rig- 3/16oz weight, 10 lb line, Spinning Rod, 6-7 inch Ribbontail, Black Chart Tail or Blue Fleck. Far casts on points, or into cover. Worked super slowly back to the boat. Good Luck.

just like a senko,let it sink on slack line,then wait for a bit,then start a series of hops,pulls,tugs,twitchs,etc... let the bass tell you what color they want or what retreive they want.

What length? I use a 4 inch renegade, or a 10.5" mmib, most of the time. Darker colors(preferably black) are the way to go IMO. T rigged, with a heavy weight, is how I fish the 4", and I c-rig the big'un.

All of the above are great. Also try a 1/16th once texas rig, twitching every few seconds so you work from within a few inches of the bottom to a few inches from the surface.
