How far off the bottom?

Awesome post thanks for the responses. We have also only been using spoons. is there a lure that you think may work better?

I am fond of jigging rapalas, and Swedish pimples...... talk to 20 guys, you might get 20 different responses. You will talk to guys that tell you, you must use "this" lure, and "this" color, and the next guy might tell you different lure, different color. My take is this....it is a matter of getting on the fish, then finding lures you get comfortable/ confident with. I have seen days it makes no difference what lure, nor do you need bait. I will say this....when fish are particular, presentation, and the style of lure can make big difference, ie.verticle jig versus horizontal, versus blade baits.....and different sizes....
Hope this helps!

we have been useing living eyes green and chartruese it is a form of ledhead jig . we use these in the spring and have been slamming them all year on them. they are alot smaller than spoons and the fish seem to get them in there mouth better especially when they bight light which has been alot this year

as far as the vexilar i have the fl8a genz pack . it runs right at $300 and has done just a great job like i said earlier without it i would have not caught many fish.no problem setting it up at all only 2 dials on it. put it in the water turn it on set your depth range and fish that easy
