Actual rod used is the Orochi XX Ronin spinning rod. Actual bait used is the Megabass X-80 jr. in the Elegy Bone color. Took a while to dial in what they wanted but apparently they don’t want the jerk, jerk, pause, or any other cadence at the moment. Just a slow, steady retrieve on that 6.2.1 Miravel and they smoke it. Also did notice I am catching spots now in this same area I only caught smallies and the occasional large mouth. Have not caught spots there in the past.

Actual bait was a Megabass X-80 and not the X-70. They don’t have that as an option. 2.5 inch and not the 2.75 inch and .25 oz bait. They would not eat anything else. Used larger jerk baits, structure jigs, swim baits, and even swim baits. They liked the smaller profile and with very light twitches of the rod tip. Actual rod is the Orochi xx “Ronin” which is no longer produced. Great jerk bait rod. Reel used is a Shimano Miravel with 15lb braid with a 6lb Seaguar leader.
