One of the colors that can be used in most places in the Tennessee shad as well as the American Shad and Ghost minnow colors. This specific Lucky Craft below is a slender pointer and it darts quickly from left to right and up and down when slightly jerked during the retrieve, Generally the fish will bit the lures when you provide a specific cadence of jerks and pauses rather than just reeled in.

3. Power Pro Braided fishing line is by far the best braided line available on the market. If you are purchasing a gift for a bass fisherman then you can rest assured that a spool of power pro braided line will be put to good use. Many anglers do not use braid for all of their fishing however for top water fishing or when fishing around a lot of underwater grass and vegetation as well as wood then using braid can be the best option of the different lines. Braided line is excellent for all topwater presentations because it floats and is strong enough to get the big fish that eat lures like a top water frog or spook back to the boat quickly. The most common sizes used in Bass Fishing are 30, 50, and 65lbs test some guys will use the 80 for specific techniques, but 30, 50, and 65 pound test is used by just about every bass fisherman that fishes in lots of different places. One tip is after the braid starts to fade a little from green to a white from use, just color the last few feet or yards with a black tipped marker and the line will more easily disappear underwater.
