Marabou / Bucktail Jig Check Prices
- Tried shad darts and spoons with little luck. Then I turned to a double marabou jig rig (white) and began catching fish steadily. It was not fast and furious but it was steady. Fly rodders were doing the best using sinking line. Clay tried his fly rod with floating line with very poor results, especially compared to their every cast output.
- Fished a dart & spoon rig.
