I covered topwater in detail earlier in this guide so I wont repeat myself, but if you are heading out on a warm morning between late spring and early fall, tie on a topwater before you try anything else

One particular floating twitchbait that Ive absolutely fallen in love with has its roots in Southeastern Brazil where it has proven to be deadly on peacock bass and other species.Along with a few other guides, Ive been testing three particular baits from the Borboleta family of lures.The Perversa, TanTan and LeLe have become part of my daily arsenal with the LeLe (smallest of the three) getting most of my attention.I recently had a day where the trout would simply not eat a soft plastic.The surface was dead calm and there was very little tide movement.To make matters even more challenging, our trout had gorged on shad under a 98% full moon the night before.My clients and I were able to trick more than a dozen very solid trout using mainly LeLes, on a day when most of the lure guides really struggled

You had to cast it into the current and let it work it down

Too big and you spend the whole setup fighting backpressure with a half-closed gate valve

For example: Use a spinning reel for light lures and quick casts Use a baitcaster for heavy setups and precise casting This approach gives us flexibility and improves our fishing experience
