Cast far, crank down fast to reach depth, then reel medium-slow. Pause occasionally.

Reel steady to keep bill bumping bottom clay. Ripping out of silt triggers massive strikes.

Steady medium retrieval. Good search bait along medium channel transitions.

Crash it directly into visible wood, logs, or riprap. Deflection off cover triggers the bite!

Reel fast through shallow weed stalks and rip out hard when hung up.

Twitch-twitch-pause on surface, then slow-crank down 3 feet, let float back up. Repeat.

Slow steady wind near shallow grassy edges. Excellent in late spring.

Steady retrieval. Good for panfish/bass transitions in calm pockets.

Retrieve with a 'rip and fall' cadence: pull rod tip up to vibrate, let sink on tight line.

Steady medium-fast retrieve over weed tops. Rip hard when it sweeps into grass clumps.

Slow crawl along bottom or weed seams. Hard nose bumps, tail swims organically behind.

Reel just fast enough to feel the blade vibrating. Occasionally snap the rod to flare skirt.

Jerk-jerk-pause. Most bites happen when the bait sits completely dead on the pause!

Cast and reel steady to make spoon flutter. Or jig vertically near deep channel walls.

Reel just fast enough to keep spinner blade rotating. Feathered hook adds organic trailing shape.

Cast near grassy edges and wind steady. Flash is key in sunny conditions.

Ultra-slow steady wind for perch and large bluegill in quiet sloughs.

Slow steady retrieval. Great in stained water near shoreline overhanging shade.

Wacky or Texas rig. Let fall on a COMPLETELY slack line. Wait 5 seconds on bottom, lift and repeat.

Fished weightless wacky style around dock pilings. Fluttering drop triggers the bite.

Texas rig with 1/4oz bullet weight. Hop and drag slowly through timber branches and grass clumps.

Punch rig or heavy Texas rig. Slide into densest weeds/wood, shake rod tip to move claws, pull out.

Hop slowly along hard clay bottoms or riprap transition lines. Simulates defensive crawfish.

Retrieve slow and steady. The swim-tail paddles organically. Weave through weed stalks.

Insert jighead into tube. Drag and small-hop along sandy drop-offs. Let sit 3 seconds between hops.

Used for rigging live nightcrawlers or soft grubs. Bounce slowly along clay and rock bottoms.

Drag slowly or vertical-jig over channel wing dams. Hair flares and pulses in river current.

Cast and reel medium speed. Keep rod tip high to guide it over submerged grass tops.

Cast into open pockets, count down, then slow steady retrieve. Great search bait.

Cast directly onto lily pads/moss. Retrieve with downward twitches to 'walk' frog. COUNT TO 2 before hookset!

Twitch rod tip on slack line to make lure zig-zag on surface ('walk the dog'). Pause frequently.

Cast, hold rod tip high, reel fast immediately to make blade churn surface. Buzz along weedlines.

Set depth with bobber stop. Let live minnow or worm suspend near brush. Bobber goes under = set hook.

Clip on 2-4 ft above hook. Excellent for keeping worm suspended over shallow weed patches for kids.

Basic suspension float. High visibility in wavy conditions.

Used to lock sliding bobber at exact target depth. Slide up/down to adjust target depth.

Fish under slip bobber. Twitch rod occasionally to make mini tube dance and pulse.

Rig with micro tubes or curly grubs. Slow crawl or jig vertically near structure.

Cast and reel very slow. The tiny tail vibrates on retrieve. Panfish cannot resist.

Rig on light jighead. Slow twitch-and-pause retrieve to mimic dying minnow fry.

Cast directly under shoreline overhanging tree branches. Let sit, twitch once, reel slow.

Push bait-holder hook into tube, dip in scent paste, cast to bottom. Let sit in slow eddy current.
