The Setups:

My recommended setup is a 6'6" Ultralight rod, 1000 size reel with 4lb flourocarbon line. This can throw the Trout Magnet with the 1/64oz jighead up to the 1/16oz Mule jig with a 2.3 Big Joshy swimbait. This setup also lets you cast the MoonDog Dragon Slayer with some distance and still enough strength to land a good sized fish. I may choose an ultralight BFS combo for the PigJigs spinnerbait or the 1/16 oz jighead paired with a Big Joshy, or Baby Thing.

The Baits:

- Dragon Slayer, cast along banks, near overhangs or over logs. Let it drift or sit patiently with small twitches to lure out big bass or other fish to come up and gently eat it off the top.

- Pig Jigs Spinnerbait and Big Joshy swimbait, great for ponds lakes or creeks, cast and fish anywhere.

- Burro Bug, Baby Thing, Needlebutt Shad and Moon Shiner are great lures for targeting all types of species, I love using these in deep holes in small creeks and along banks of rivers and lakes. These lures will keep your day interesting and good sized bass and other fish will definitely hit these lures.

- Trout Magnet, this tiny little lure will catch some giant sunfish. Don't fish it too fast, that super light jig head will sing slowly and the fish just can't resist it. Don't be surprised if you just keep getting bites all day. In a creek this lure can catch up to 10 or more species in one day, it's also known for big trout and bluegill.
