I love three of you bait choices but, I'm not much of a swim bait guy. First, the jig and Finesse TRD combination. I have tried that combination before with limited success. My issue is the rigging of the TRD. Although the TRD stands up, it doesn't stand up when rigged on the back of a jig so, you lose the "stand up" effect. For that matter I would just as soon break off a Yum Dinger and put it on there? Next, the jerk bait. The issue with the jerk bait is being able to reach the fish from the bank. (That and hard water here in NJ LOL) I did happen to catch a nice one the other day but, it was during a light rain ushering in a cold front so they were active. Small twitches and a gradual drag did the trick! Third, the chatter bait.I use the Mini Max with a Hog Farmer Spunk Shad retrieved real slow. Caught a couple that way recently. So far the Ned Rig on the bottom hasn't produced but, that may be a not finding or not being able to reach them from the bank thing. Good video!
Great content even though I make jigheads. This has me pumped to fish a jerk bait and chatterbait now too!
