Enjoyed a fun trip November 24 vertically jigging a 1/2 Binsky Blade bait for smallmouth holding in 30-35 foot around rock humps in Chaumont Bay. For this application I use a Temple Fork Outfitters rod paired with a KastKing BFS reel spooled with 8 lb. Cortland Masterbraid with a 36-40" section of 12.9 lb. Cortland Top Secret Fluorocarbon. Key to this presentation is employing short hops keeping the bait within 12-20" of the bottom. On cloudy or overcast days I use the gold blade and on bright sunny days the silver works better for me.
