Caught em from 8 ft to 20 ft. The sweet spot seemed to be 13-16 ft but caught good amounts shallower and some deeper. Just habit more than anything else but I almost always fish Oologah with 1/16 oz weedless jigs. Why get hung up and spook the fish out of what your fishin in if you don't have to. I know, most guys don't bother. Just seems to work for me. Eight foot Huckabee rods and 10lb Trilene Big game in solar florescent yellow line. My buddy fishes with 8 ft Huckabee rods and braid. We argue every time we cross lines. His tiny braid is impossible to untangle. He fishes with one rod, i fish with two. He fishes with 1/8 and 1/4 oz non-weedless jig heads. He likes the heavier weight on the line. We fished with Bobby Garland slabslayers and baby shad. Ran out of the 1.5 slabslayers and went to the 3 inch. Just bit off half the body to give it a smaller profile and kept fishin. No color problems, they bit everything we fished with. Black and chartreuse and monkey milk worked good. We always try Beaver bottoms too, some days they'll kill it. They were in a Bobby Garland mood on these 2 days.
