berkley crystal fishing line FireLine Fused and even more sensitive than previous versions Berkley FireLine® Fishing Line, Crystal,

While there are specialty jigs that work well for specific techniques, a true all-around jig is usually my top choice during this time of year

If the wind is gusty, this can be a factor and you will want to use the trolling motor to compensate for this drift

Has three year warranty which is great for a 150.00 reel, I don't expect it to outperform my MGX but it is worth the money so far

Here again, too any options to list, but my two favorites are the Keitech 2.8 or 3.3 Fat Swing Impact (sliver flash, bluegill flash, AYU) or the Big Bite Baits 2.8 or 3.3 Pro Swimmer (chick magnet, perch dinner, shad)

You would be wrong

Bream and bluegill usually bed out in the open, but if they are spawning in sparse cover, the frog gives you the more weedless and less hazardous option
