Shrimp will break the surface to avoid predators, but they usually move between midwater and the bottom, so its best to allow the lure to sink after the cast, then begin a slow and steady jigging motion
cause the rivers so wide and it has like basically a cut to it or its like theres always like a center trough that runs, thats your deepest spot, if that makes sense
These allow you to repair your net rather than having to invest in a brand new landing net and handle
Second, those rods are a little bit beefier than shorter crankbait rods, and that helps get those baits down a little deeper and also handle bigger fish when they bite
I used a drop-shot rig and a Ned Rig to catch all of my fish this week fishing in the area they call The Bowl. Shuffield used the same Berkley Flatworm that won the event, but also used a green pumpkin Z Man TRD to boat his fish
