Jerkbaits and Flukes seem to work best for me, especially when the water is on the colder side.

Not new, but new to me is that Damiki rig. Gotta try that for sure!

I never thought of snelling a hook for this technique. I'll definitely give it a try with a few different sizes of hooks. Thanks for the info.

+1 on Tackle Trap. Just ordered from them - great service!

I use a variety of items from all manufacturers. At this time I must say that Diawa & Shimano Reels have my attention the most. As do Megabass hard baits.
