Last year the spring weather came a little late in Toronto and as a result (yes we have closed seasons), when our bass opener day came about, the fish were still stuck in a very early post-spawn mood.  In other words, they didn’t really eat and were lock-jawed.  Me and my buddy fished for around 10 hours that day on the shore of Lake Ontario in a little bay, seeing largemouth swim by but not eating anything we threw at them.  My buddy was able to find one fish that was doing something different and would eat readily.  The rest of the fish we saw were cruisers and we couldn’t catch them with anything.  After about 4 hours, I managed to get one quick nip with a weightless OSP Dolive Shad, but the fish spit instantly.  Finally after 6 hours of throwing everything at those fish I finally picked up a RaidJapan Big2Way and rigged it on a short leader dropshot.  Threw it out into the wolf-pack of cruisers and let it sink before popping it up pretty high into the water column.  On the fall the line started running left and that was the first bite of the day for me.  Went on to catch another 4 fish with the same setup and my buddy changed up managing one too.  Just wanted to share something that was pretty cool and juicy with everyone!

I got this jig in without a weedguard and I have had these swimbaits. They are the Evergreen head shaker swimbaits. These swimbaits are heavy and I was not successful as I would like to be with them so i am going to try it this way.. the jig seems to be a good fit. 

Anyone using the Head Shaker Swimbaits by EG? 

Which do you prefer?

Personal favorites of anybody else here?
