Keith Combs has found that in this situation a finesse swimbait like the Strike King Swim’n Caffeine Shad rigged on a lightly weighted hook can be one of the best presentations for generating bites and catching fish in a spawning funk.
He talks about a few key considerations including, cover, speed and how critical recognizing missed bites can be corrected easily with a simple color change.
