We started throwing Spinnerbaits and Rattletraps in the trees catching a couple of small fish. Then, we found a pile of fish on a roadbed. We mostly caught fish on Lipless Crankbait using Powertackle PG143-70 rod, and had to use multiple different type of retrieve.
Powertackle doesn’t make the Paragon rods anymore. So, the closest rod they have to the PG143-70 is the LPC470. Check them out at https://powertackle.com/product/lpc470/
