These are the best: Best Fishing Line For Drift Fishing And Bottom Bouncing I like to use braided lines or fluorocarbon lines for drift fishing and bottom bouncing

During spring, smallmouths are prone to move back and forth between shallower or deeper water if necessary whether to evade pressure or in reaction to fronts and water temperature fluctuations

The B-Shad stickbait/jerkbait dives to about 10 feet on a long cast, and deeper when trolled on a long line

This knot's ability to connect different types of line shows you're ready to adapt and overcome whatever the water throws your way

1 priority at that point was to keep the fish alive and get it documented properly
