Would have to agree ive done better with soft ones the lightly weighted 4 in one can buy at walley world and the 6 in Mr money using a 5/0 hook,no weight over grass or pads,using the hook with the belly weight zero.

The smaller hardbody they tended to show themselves but not take it,so used it for locating,see a flash behind it toss a soft one in.Others do well with both the soft and a heavy under belly hook or a hardbodied,think a lot of reaction was due to just this year here.

The 2 jointed number 5 shadrap works here just got off it due to it catching 9-10 stuff as well,that 3.5 three jointed is about same size,and often schoolers are taking slender minnows versus shad,fatheads, shiners,or even darters.Think on those days when one can toss a shad crankbait in among them with them  tearing the water apart and not get bit this is the ticket.

Just about right for the suspenders on hole 4 wouldnt you say running 5-9 ft.

i catch a few spots prespawn on it,yet none post spawn,somewhere like the ohio river be yearround on it,havnt a clue why not here as supposed to be a flooded river fishery,yet spots dont act like they are in a river,for that matter neither do smallies,but the largemouth are like a river pattern often.As they gang up just where a spot would be or should be.

Hopefully a lil change in baits maybe find where and what.Like as in predictable spot and smallmouths like elsewhere.

I purchased an H20 4 in last year in american shad loved the way it looked,did not do well with it,but a bad year.

This is even a tad smaller at 3.5 in but is also a sinker running a tad deeper,tight wobble quite like a jointed shad rap but bill different odd in several respects but thought id get a few to try out,will be tossed on a spinning outfit for distance weight about 1/3 oz.
