power pro braided fishing line 100lb Spectra - 300 yd. Spool - 100 lb Lets you feel even the softest bite POWER PRO Spectra Fiber Braided

When you detect a strike, hit the fish hard and dont give the bass an inch

I was mainly sight fishing but did use a Strike King Caffeine Shad the first day to help locate fish on beds. His primary lure was a Strike King Half Shell in Sexy Shad

August is HOT but don't let that stop you because the fishing is can be incredible

Seems like the biggest bass were mixed in with drum and walleye, which also bit the swimbait

Clearly it was a half-decent skimmer, but at 80 yards range with a 50g feeder, a four-inch hooklength and size 14 hook, getting it to the net wouldnt be easy

The tail sinks with the nose up at rest and can grab stuff. Designed by nationally known angler Larry Dahlberg, the heavy weight of the lure allows an angler to cast them what seems like a mile
