but either way I have taken my saltwater experience and discovered that Flat fall jigs are a whole new ball game on the largemouth here at Casitas Lake. I am currently using a spoon that is 21 gr. ( Basically 3/4 oz ) AHI IKARA -slow pitch jig in 35 to 55 of water and scoring on fish that I have not been able to catch with all of my other tricks. I take off the bottom assist hook and replace it with a #4 red hook 12 pound test limber "Topwater" 7' IROD Cuercus rod.I Have been concentrating on off shore brush and I get near the brush but give myself room for the fall which can be any where in a 4 foot area when on the vertical. Popping it up in my swimming pool revealed the traveling nature of the return with this bait. One side is heavier than another so dependent on what edge catches it can take more/less time to the bottom ...every rip and return is different. 5+ pound fish each day I've used it ( 4 trips). It would crush them at Berryessa and all the Norcal lakes. It is a legit bait that is simple, cheap, and works. Have a great Thanksgiving one and all.
