Why these fit

• For water currents, the strongest matches are the shrimp and jighead options built to hold position in moving water. The 3in Shrimp Tail and 4in Shrimp Jighead are both described as handling strong current conditions where lighter baits fail.
• The Big Hammer Swimbaits - 4 inch (hand-poured) - 4 pcs. is a good choice when current is strong and you need a bait that can be fished on a heavier jig head and worked deeper.
• The Arrowhead Bucktail Jigs with Stinger – Deep Drop Jig for Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish & More is built to sink fast and track straight, which helps in current and deeper water.
• The Bottom Sweeper Jighead series (8Pk) is a solid all-around heavy jighead option for soft plastics when you need to stay near bottom from shore, pier, or boat.

Technique notes

• In current, use heavier heads and keep the lure in contact with the strike zone.
• For shrimp baits, cast upcurrent and let them drift naturally before a slow hop or swim back.
• With swimbaits, use a steady retrieve or slow crawl over ledges and through holes.
• For bucktails and bottom jigs, fish vertical or near-vertical when possible to reduce drag and keep depth.
• If the bait keeps washing out of the zone, go heavier rather than faster.

When to switch

• Switch to a finesse worm like Z-Man Fishing SMH™ WormZ™ when the water is calmer and fish are pressured or bottom-oriented.
• Switch to a smaller fly or leech pattern like Umpqua Feather Merchants Mayer's Mini Leech Fly Black when you need a subtle presentation.
• Switch to a tungsten jig fly like ReelFlies.com ** Fishing Flies, Trout Flies, Fly Fishing Flies, Fly Shop Tungsten Jig Bugger Multi Coloured when you want a fast sink but a smaller profile.
