I was sitting on the riprap shore when some Minnesota tourists pulled up in their motorhome

Sinkers, beads, rattles and little swivels are hard to keep up with, but the Bait Coffin has so many little dividers that you arent taking up a great big space with just a bunch of little bitty swivels

That direct control is exactly why so many predator anglers eventually migrate to baitcasters: you can feather a lure to a dead stop mid-flight, dropping it with millimetre precision beside a reed bed rather than watching it sail past into a snag

The Daiwa J was really smooth as I loaded on reel

Bottom Line Dropshotting is one of the most effective ways to target smallmouth, and the Berkley MaxScent Flat Worm is one of the most effective dropshot lures

Remember, cover is key for some of these bass that choose to sit still and wait out a passing meal and all these baits can work well in those situations
