Well seems I still can’t pick the bait or the reel used. Ark Gravity BFS reel and the bait is a Eurotackle Z-Spender jerkbait from Amazon or the Eurotackle web site. The threadfin shad color specifically. Caught a few of these. They didn’t seem to look twice at any other baits around me. This is a 2 inch suspending jerk bait. I also tried a sinking bitsy jerk bait from strike king and they were not interested. Not a big fish, but where there are a few smaller ones there are larger ones somewhere. Anyway, I didn’t have time to try a larger size before night fall. So maybe something to try for others that want to. I am guessing any shad color suspending jerkbait may work. I just chose the duo realis bait in this case because that was the closest option.

Slow day down river, but caught a few short fish on points. As usual, the Simms Pro Dry held off the wind and boat spray. I love the Plano Edge boxes. Makes being organized a whole new game.
