Trolling with Fins Believe it or not, trolling is absolutely possible from a float tube or inflatable kayak

Lightweight jigs also work as do slim profile plugs like floating diving minnow plugs or twitchbaits

If you wacky rig a senko though, you can fish it all the way back to the boat and pick up a lot more fish

The colder the water is, the more delayed the response a plastic bait has, whereas with balsa, its instantaneous. For more perspective, we turn to Cliff Pace, the Elite pro from Mississippi and 2013 Bassmaster Classic champion who has been producing his handmade/hand-painted Black Label balsa baits for a few years now

Either way, keeping your fly in this transition zone can really boost your chances of getting bit

These bass lures should be dropped and rising until strikes occur for the best success
