Lake Pike
Lake Pike: "Well on a trek out to BassPro shops one day I came across the PERFECT solution. It is a flat box made by Falcon that has a special divider with 15 slots that hold the spinnerbaits by their own tension. This box is slightly smaller than the regular plastic containers, but is the same depth.
So it fits right in the front pocket of my tackle bag. It is about 2-3 times more expensive than a normal plastic lure container, but well worth it'"

Jig Fishing
Jig Fishing: "- Milfoil And Lures: 'Always use a heavy action lure that floats when fishing for big fish in lakes
with heavy milfoil. the milfoil grows from the bottom of shallow water.
Fish also do not like the taste of it. lures that submerge will almost always catch milfoil in heavy areas.
but predator fish swim through it to hide from prey and make it easier to stalk'"

Strike Lures
Strike Lures: "Trolling deep-diving crankbaits across rocky points may be one of the most-effective techniques anglers can use to catch big smallmouths. Bump the bait across the bottom, and crash it into underwater rocks to gain the attention and often the strike of a big smallmouth. Alternatively, try these proven techniques. Cast out light line and ultralight baits to catch big smallmouth in deep water. Fish a 4-inch worm and a 1/4-ounce jig on light spinning tackle along sheer rock bluffs. If you fish parallel to the bluffs and let your lure fall straight down beside the rocks, you’ll offer the smallmouth a meal it can’t resist. Fish a live-bait rig called a Roach Rig or a jig tipped with live bait for smallmouths"

Tackle Bait
Tackle Bait: "Some of the most-productive areas for summertime spotted bass include rocky points, sheer rock bluffs, underwater railroad beds and current pulled through the dam. In all cases, remember that spotted bass are driven to feed by power-generating lakes. Fish main river points with small jigs, grubs and tiny plastic worms as soon as the current begins to run on the lake. Rocky points out on the main river will draw spotted bass like a magnet when the current first starts running when you fish these points with Carolina-rigged 4-inch plastic worms'"

Texas-rig a soft-plastic centipede in chartreuse-pepper (a bright color in a compact bait) out over the shell beds, dragging the centipede slowly on the bottom, reel-up the slack, drag the bait, and then reel it again. * Fish a 3/4-ounce spinnerbait or a Texas-rigged grub with a red hook in late-summer current.

Rods St Croix
Rods St Croix: "Smallmouth and jerkbaits are synonymous terms with anglers. The smallmouth is undeniably the most aggressive of the bass and its predator instinct is easily triggered by the jerking action of this “reaction bait.” Using a weighted jerkbait increases coverage of the strike zone, expanding the opportunities for using this lure throughout the year.
More than most lures, weighted jerkbaits demand the right 'cadence' (retrieve timing) to draw strikes. This is because they're being used to tempt sluggish bass in cold water. Here are some retrieves to try: Sinking Retrieve (extremely cold water): Make a long cast to the target zone.As soon as the lure hits the water, jerk the rod tip sharply so the bait dives"

Snatching the jig up off the bottom really fast and then allowing it to fall back to the bottom as quickly as it can drop triggers numbers of strikes from smallmouth, even if they’re not hungry. Make short casts, and rip the bait up off the bottom"
