For Hatchery Brats, White head jig, Pink Cactus Cheniile & pink Yarn tail jig.

Seems to slay 'em every time.

For Nates: Worms, Spoons, Jigs, Plugs. In that order.

There are too many fish that get gut hooked on divers and bait so therefore I dont think it would be a great choice for nates IMO.

You got it pfunk436, rag, bead, then hook with egg loop. Usually on a pretty short leader too.

Screw the corkies and yarn, don't waste your time. Use eggs and puff balls

besides the bait. which is very productive, I have use areodrifters. Use them like a corky and yarn bouncing the bottom. I soak them with some shrimp oil or dip them in some egg nectar and they seem to work real well. I like the light, washed out pink colors (I am sure other colors work well, just what I have confidence in). here is a link to the website:

Click on drifters.

Clear water: Float and Jigs,small baits , small spinners

Green water: Eggs, drifted or under a float, diver/shrimp,plugs

Dirty water: rag with a shrimp, , diver/shrimp, big plugs

Main thing is reading the water no matter what the condition.
