Do you love big bluegill?

The Jointed "Snake and Wake" tecnique.

Low water and shallow ? Very slow retrieve with pauses creating wake similar to a Jitterbug . The rod held high after long cast to keep the lure on top or just under surface lowering rod tip gradually as it approaches you. Keep the lure and line straight to your rod tip and reel without slack for hook setting control.
Far Right :Rapala J-11 4,1/4" Floater, Storm with Rattle ,3,3/4" jointed Plug; Left Column: J-9 ,3,1/4"Rapala floaters.All Rapalas old FINLAND models.
