Ok guys,, I talked to a good freind of mine that is a very known tourney fisherman in TN on percy preist,center hil, ect.... He really shed a little light on this for me. First , he claims unless ur throwin them in big schools or jumps this time of year is tough for them. In the spring and fall when they're really fattnin up on shad is better he says. Second, don't buy any smaller than 5 and a half inches. He told me this, a three pound basss will eat a 5-7 inch shad. And I've heard the same from others as well. Third a 6-7 ot hook with a 8th ounce weight is best. Third, he says fish them the same way as a crank bait unless u find them in the jumps and try to keep it close to the bottom near structure like a crank. I think the next trip I'm gonna try them at night or first thing in the morn and try to keep them close to any structue on the bottom. I will share any tips or report any sucsess I have cause I know theese bait will produce some hogs. Also, anyone lookin for hybrids in the jumps should keep one tied on as well. He semt me some pics of some they've been catchin on percy preist and they're some hawgs for sure.
