Whats the first hardbait you're throwing this season?

[bladerunner]

I went out of the gate with the X-Rap Shad Shallow in the 1/2 oz. size. This is my favorite hardbait. I get TOTALLY bored throwing suspending jerkbaits - and some pros insist that wide wobbling cranks are the way to start out (YES - wide wobbling). The more common view though is a tight wiggling crank. I'm not sure what to believe - but I do well with suspending baits for sure. BUT - I love cranks. The X-Rap Shad Shallow gives me all the traits I want. Tight wiggle, suspends with a feathered treble, can be jerked or cranked, awesome profile somewhere between a shad and a minnow, narrow body. I catch fish on it all season. It lets me fish the late winter without freezing and falling asleep. It casts like a champ too... Anyone else too impatient with their suspending jerkbaits and have a working alternative?
P.S. I live in southeastern PA and the ice just melted a week ago.

It was the Triggerfish, but in reality it will be the basics. Megabass vision or Husky Jerks. Got an inching to try out some new vision colors. Wish topwater season would come along already. Cant wait to finally have a whole season to which I can dedicate my time learning all about the anthrax.

Not too worried about my 110's because they never work

If you split it between wirebait and hardbait, it would be Vision 110. If you consider wirebaits as hardbaits, it would be a buzzbait.

Strike king Red eye shad

X2 on the red eye!
Ice has only been out a week or so but when we get a string of 60+ degree days, in the farms ponds by me, they kill rattle baits!

Either a JawJacker SSD, a Tennessee Tuffy T-S modded to dive a bit deeper, or a Staysee.

LC Pointer/Staysee and SK Red Eye Shad as soon as the temps warm a few more degrees.
