That Southern Pro Umbrella tube is the ticket for me. 6-8 good colors that will work great with an orange or pink head. I add a curly tail when power trolling them. Kent Driscoll calls it a Rattlesnake rig with the Southern Pro Hot Grub on it.

Oh yea, a minnow on it too!!!!!

They also have different colors called Walleye Tubes and a solid body version called the Magnum Tubes.

I have all size jig heads. I have them custom made by Brad Chappell's son Hunter and of course my buddy Satdoc's Sickle Jigs. Most with a 2/0, but the smaller ones with a 1-1/0.

Grenada and Sardis are not stained they are muddy most of the time. Those lakes are hard if you are used to fishing clear water. Believe me I grew up fishing clear water and those lakes are tough on me. I'll take 50 feet of clear water anytime I can catch fish in that.
