That runs pretty shallow, like <3' or so. 4.75" isn't bad but wondering if anybody has some brands and/or models to suggest?

I don't like them, but Rapala Maxx Raps....

I like the Max Rap when fishing shallow. Depending on the speed of your retrieve, you might also be fine with a Husky Jerk.

Floaters with suspend dots/strips, also work well, Timmay. The BPS house brand jerks are perfect for that...

Been thinking about weighting down floaters. Golfsmith sells lead tape at 10.99 for 75 feet. Helluva lot cheaper than suspendots. I just don't know how thick it is. If its too thick, they sell lead foil tape online.

I use #12 X-Raps, BPS PRo's and #13 and #15 Max Raps. For shallow water I almost exclusively use Max Raps now. Unfortunately the 6" #15s are almost impossible to find now:'(

Time to scuba your haunts Neal. That lure would be perfect.

They work, know this first hand. Got my rear handed to me with Neal beside me one night.

I could definitely see that Max Rap come alive with Neal's aggressive fishing style. They do have great action when fished aggressively.

x2! The man can fish! Jamin (grncreek)is a beast and so is Longdraw. Its a humbling experience.

I love those floater's from now into summer. You can throw them up into the rocks and just reel them along striking the rocks and hardly ever snag up! Plus the rattles really work once the water temp rises. I reel them along steadily and then once or twice a retrieve stop them and pop it hard! Great Slimer bait also

5 inch suspending jerkbait?...did you check goldies large intestine?!

Smithwick has a full line of nice jerk baits from floater down to 10 foot . So float then 4ft 6 ft 8ft 10 ft ranging in size from 4 1/2 inches to 5 inches .
Also the line diameter will effect how deep you jerk baits will dive.Thinner the line the deeper they will get down.

Got a full line of the Smithwicks. Just about every big eye Ive caught this year came off of one of those. If they made a shallower running version of the Super Rogue Id be all over that. They used to make a floating version of those so Ebay has them for like 10 bucks. I should really consider buying stock in Smithwick. They take some tweaking, but they catch some fish.

Anybody try the 5.1" Yo Zuri crystal minnows?

NealCO: Floaters would be perfect. I just don't have confidence in them yet. I need to fish them more.

Yozuri's are filthy...but man, so pricey to be throwing around rocks. The homie Fresh Fish makes them shits work! He's stuck some pig smallies on them in the past.

 

[rattbones]

Rapala x-rap Sub Walker is a nice one. I think it's about 4ft depth diving.
