What Stan said. Either match the local shad size or go small and slow. Braid also helps feel the little things that I missed with mono. If you found em, stay on em.youll figure them out. I found some deep once and were convinced they were crappies. After 45 minutes and 4 catfish and no crappie, I’m sure they were whisker trout. But I figured em out, that’s the point. Get an answer before you move on.
