Subtle Top Water Lures When I talk about subtle top water lures I am referring to Spook type baits using the technique of walking the dog. This left, right, left, right action type of lure can be very effective on Peacock Bass appealing to a wider size range as the lures are usually considerably smaller and are fished much less aggressively than are the Woodchopper type

Eight-pound braid is extremely thin compared to mono or fluorocarbon in the same break range, and that helps with casting distance, lure action, and overall line management

These rods are preferred for flipping, pitching, crankbait fishing, and frog walking

In cold water fall rate is key, and when the water is clear on top of being frosty, I often bite an inch off the front of this bait before rigging it on a jighead

This reel has caught a handful of calicos but hasnt seen much use
