I'm fishing a Bass Tourney sponsored by a fishing club I'm in next weekend and I'm not sure what to use. The lake is 40ft. at its deepest part alot of down trees along one side and bolders along the other. There are some weed patches. My goal is not to get skunked! Any suggestions on what to use?

I know it's a little late to order as your tourney is next weekend but I think Farr's in Manchester still has them in stock. If not, a similar 3-1/2" tube is my "go to" (Gitzit brand). In the Stalker bait I like the "Wade Special" or "Green Pumpkin"colors with a 1/4-3/8 leadhead depending on the depth you are fishing,light line,10lb,even 8lb sometimes,12lb if there is alot of dead falls/trees in the water.Spinning tackle. I've found that the garlic/salt combo (Stalkers are loaded) gets the fish to hang on longer until the hookset................I get funny looks when "Bass Fisherman" ask what I'm throwing but fish don't see them everyday and they definitely produce.

I am a big fan of heavy jigs in deeper water

I have been using these jigs and the turnaround time is quick. He normally ships that day or the next and you should have them in time.
Not sold so far on his trailers, big fan of the bass pro river bugs. The bass pro worms are good and a great deal compared to a lot of other makers.
