The Ultimate Coldwater Smallmouth Tactic. Hanging or moping a damiki rig. This is the tactic Gussy won the classic on! Some of the keys are to present the minnow a few feet above the fish/bottom. Less is more. Perfectly still is one of the best presentations.

Finding islotated big boulders with Mega Live in 18-22 feet of water was the ticket. Short 20-30 foot accurate pitches with a jerk Shad had most fish hitting it on the fall! This tactic also produced 2 nice limits of walleyes for supper and quality fish in the 18-20” range
