Yeah it's tough. Look at the weekend tournaments. Without a kicker, teams are around 11-13 lbs per five fish. This weather is silly.

TnT Baits Wadda Jig
Senko
Heavy Flip Bait -
Chatter Bait \ Spinnerbait
GrassBurner \ Frog
Bubba Shot

(I know this is 6 rods)

That would be my line up going into March on the delta - Although I am not a big bubba shot guy there have been too many *** whoopins handed out in the past two years not to have one especially this time of year.

Power shot or Bubba shot is a drop shot rig on heavy line with bigger baits.

Gary Dobyns shows you how to rig the "Bubba Shot" using the Roboworm ReBarb hook.

Senko - wacky rigged
Senko - texas rigged (maybe)

Speed Trap
Lipless - Trap or LV-500

Bubba Drop Shot
Spinnerbait or chatterbait (if windy)
Wadda Jig
Flip-Pitch Rig

I know I cheated and listed 8 ..... have to look at the conditions to decide which ones I have on the deck. Right now with our run of cold mornings it is tough.....
