Just cast it on the fish in 4 ft of water and the lure would start a big spiral down.  It was so fun watching them take that 'unusual'presentation.  Here's my problem.  I kept getting hung up in early weeds (roots of lily pads) and because I had 8lb line, there was not much I could do about it.  Is there another option that works with pretty clear water?  Braid (black or green) is a no-no, they seem to see it and swim away.  Maybe I should 'horse them' some more on 8lb?  I caught a 5 lber (estimated) up here (as unusual as a 10 down in TX or FL but couldn't keep the fish out of the junk.</blockquote>
