big 5 braided fishing line Spin5 Braid – FINS Braids Braided Line by Berkley Berkley X5 Braid 5-Carrier Braided

I typically rig this with a heavy wire EWG hook and go weightless, but if it's windy a Owner twist lock hook with the 1/8th ounce keel weight is a terrific option

These are often used for fishing with downriggers and other deeper techniques that require tons of large diameter line

Benefits include: Cleaner hook exposure More natural trailer position Fewer parts to interfere with hooksets Excellent snag resistance in heavy cover Rear Trailer Attachment System The trailer sits directly behind the jig where it naturally belongs

Small poppers with cupped faces work well, and small fizzers with duel propellors are effective also, but my all-time favourite lure for bass on the surface is the Mega Bass Siglett
