Tackle of choice for this bait:
Rod - Daiwa Tatula Elite 7’ Medium Heavy casting rod - TAEL701MHRB-G

I do most of most of my fishing in a small, local reservoir of about 1000 acres. Water clarity from slightly dingy to pretty clear. Depths to 45’ but average is probably in the 20’-22’ range. Bottom composition is red clay in most areas but a few spots of softball to volleyball sized rip-rap. Forage is threadfin shad, crawfish, panfish and terrestrial creatures.
The bait runs about 10’, I target between 6 and 8 feet, sometimes a bit shallower with the red craw, a bit deeper with the shad patterns. Although I caught my biggest caught during prespawn, I’ve caught some nice fish during the summer schooling periods.
This is just a thumbnail sketch, if there are any additional particulars, let me know.
