Punching. I know it works. I just don’t like it.
Swim jig/chatterbait. I hadn’t figured out the nuance. I thought it was fish likely areas. Chunk and wind. I’ve caught almost nothing on them. I’ve got one of each tied on. I hadn’t given up. And There’s punching stuff in my box.
But I don’t have much confidence in them. Yo-yo retrieve is your friend rather than straight chunk and wind.
I’ve caught fish on Rat-L-Trap but mainly in fall when they’re keying on Shad In backs of coves. I like the silver/blue back in Cotton Cordell brand and the Strike King in the Shad pattern that has a little yellow on side.
I’m not a fan of frogging either. Again, I don’t have the nuance down. They either short strike me or I don’t find them at all.
