Tips for success

Be mindful of water clarity and structure. In stained water, a high-contrast or dark/ chrome combo can help the lure pop. In clear water, lean toward natural baitfish colors to mimic the local forage. Try a steady cast-and-crank near likely ambush points, then vary speed to provoke deflections off cover.
