I had a fun day on Tim’s catching and releasing 14 Smallmouth (all about the size you see above-No Keepers) 3 Hybrids-1 Nice Walleye-8 Rockbass and 1 Channel Cat. A mixture for sure. The Hybrids hit the new Rapala Waking Minnow pictured above.  I really believe that this is going to be one fantastic lure. The Rapala Waking Minnow is a Top Water Lure that has a Balsa Core with a durable Copolymer Outer Shell and Creates Huge Surface Wake simply by keeping your rod tip up and a steady retrieve–no additional action needed. Anyone can use this bait. The Waking Minnow has a Flashing Rolling Action and it isn’t only for Bass but as you can see Strippers/Hybrids as well. It’s equipped with 3 sets of VMC Black Nickel Round Bend Hooks. The Waking Minnow comes in 8 colors and is 5 ¼ inches in length and weight 3/4oz which helps with making long casts.

I also caught several on a Rapala DT6 River Shad and soft plastics on a VMC Finesse Weedless Jig www.vmchooks.com  Sufix Mono and Braid on all rods (wouldn’t have anything else_ www.sufix.com.
