I also used a black and blue with black/blue laminate Swimming Senko. But if Im on more of a shad-based lake like a TVA impoundment or fishing during the shad spawn, Id go with the white or white and chartreuse with that D Shad-style trailer in a pearl or smoke shad, he continued
After the second bite, and second lost fish/hook and five dollar 3/4 ounce tungsten I started inspecting the hook eye
Either way, using high visibility 6-pound-test that floats rather than sinks, enables me to see the slightest line twitch indicating a bite. When casting or pitching a slip float-n-jig to weed or wood cover with his 10-foot BnM Russ Bailey Signature Rod, Dale uses high-vis copolymer
Some find that the loop at the bottom of the clinch knot tends to slide off the hook just as they try to thread the tag end through
