We had a good mix of smallmouth and largemouth on rocky banks that had a sharp drop to 10-12 ft of water. You didn't have to work the bait much because they hit it either on the fall or just after it hit bottom. There was some fry guarders in shallow weedy water as well. Those fish also ate the Z-Man TRD but you had to hop it some.
