I was fishing the Mad River/Great Miami River confluence. I was throwing the size 4 Berkley Money Badger in a couple of colors with no bites which I was shocked about. I caught my one really nice one and another nice one that got off on the Berkley Stunna. Great jerkbait for the price especially. I was throwing all around fast moving river current. Very erratic action, not too fast, but definitely moving.

The only bait I even used was the Berkley Money Badger 4 in black/silver. This bait continues to produce here & in other smaller fast moving waters all around southern Ohio. Look for fast moving current with some slack water next to it & you should get bit.
