Thank you for the great feedback Joseph
By observing the natural prey present in your fishing area, you can choose lures that imitate their appearance and behaviour
Last summer, and most likely this one as well, with the lake so low, much of the planted brush is either exposed or in water that is too shallow to hold fish to support this pattern
On these pelagic fisheries, Smelt, Disco Cisco, Pro Team Perch, The Deal, Ayu, Motor Oil are most often used each of them catching boatloads of smallmouths, walleyes, and pike, simultaneously
Beyond problems with line capacity, spin-cast reels generally are very lightweight fishing reels that arent designed or intended for heavy long term use or larger fish
