Keep it simple. Pumpkin black flake senkos. 1/4 oz weght. #1 short neko type Mustad hook. 1/4oz darter heads with any straight tailed pumpkin colored worm. The darter heads are also good for the Keitechs. These 3 baits are good for numbers and even size if you happen to toss them in the right area. ...

You're order doesn't come up. Don't buy anything but a few bags of senkos and a few bags of worms. Maybe four each. Some darter heads, 0-rings, and some Dobyn's neko weights in 1/4 oz. It's a little snaggy out there so buy enough. $60 worth of tackle unless you already have it. 3.8 keitechs in shad ...

Neko rigged senko or a darter head rigged with a 4-6" straight tail worm. Pumpkin is a great color. Fish anywhere from 0-30'. Fish em on any points or go back into the creeks.
