“The Flappin’ Hog is my go-to flippin’ bait. I like it Texas- rigged or as a jig trailer.

“I like to use the Shad Shape Worm on a drop-shot setup with a Gamakatsu G-Finesse swivel shot hooks. The Shad Shape Worm keeps me in the money!”

“Without a doubt my favorite lure is the Senko. I Texas-rig it with a 4/0 EWG hook (no weight) and deadstick it in 2-8 feet of water. A few of my favorite colors are 301 and 194J for clear water. Don’t be afraid to Carolina-rig the Senko on deep drops!”

Dave Lefebre - The D-Shad is the best minnow imitating soft bait on the market by far. I use

it weightless on a Sugoi 3/0 offset shank hook and I also really like it as a trailer on my Fish Head Spins and vibrating jigs.

The shape, and design of the new Yama Frog make it a truly unique topwater frog. It shines best for me when a slower retrieve is desired. You can keep the Yamafrog on the surface with a super slow retrieve, even on a long cast.
