Conventional reels come in star- or lever-drag models, with lever drags generally considered superior for big-game fishing since they allow for one-finger drag adjustments during the battle

Swimbaits, even small, highly natural swimbaits, drew a lot of follows, but he could not keep the bait in the strike zone long enough, and the fish would tend to follow them a short distance and then turn away

The flapper-style trailers, such as the Strike King Rage Craw or Menace and Zooms Speed Craw or Z-Craw, are go-tos for working swim jigs sub-surface

Slow down with a jerkbait (longer pauses) , a jig , or finesse like a wacky rig or floating worm

I like finesse frogging with a spinning rod as well
