I’ll throw it when it looks like buzzbait/plopper time. On a clear lake that might mostly be lowlight conditions or rainy days. If it’s a shallow dirty lake could be all day when bites on. You need quality fish shallow and feeding. Close to heavy cover is ideal mainly because that’s where you will find quality bass shallow. Casting angles are same as I would throw a plopper or buzzbait. I’ll try and get close to a bank and make long casts or throw right over thickest wood I can. I’m typically using the spro50 btw.

Multi joints typically are easier to burn and much cheaper. If I want to burn something it’s usually for schooling fish or grass flats. I like a triple trout, bull Shad or benson but a taxi Shad or Chad shad will work too.

Depends what part of Florida you’re in because they northern part has more of a traditional winter while central Florida where I mostly fish it’s basically a fall feed straight to prespawn. Water clarity is the big factor on what works best in the typical tannic water something with some thump like a crankdown or wake is hard to beat in stained water. But there are some really clear lakes and lakes with a ton of hydrilla have clear areas so glides can be good. On clear lakes I’ve caught good fish on an albino phoney it mimics a spawned out tilapia. I’ve also done well a ghost perch Arashi glide. I’m usually throwing my glides around spawning areas or places fry could be hiding like shade. I’ve caught good fish off docks, canals, hard Kissimiee grass lines and pad edges. If you get on a big shallow grass flat and want to cover water a multi joint like a bull Shad does great. I really like a benson too for burning over grass. And in low light I’m usually throwing a spro bbz50 rat where you would a buzzbait.

Funniest part about the chopping action you can do the same thing with a 3 piece at a fraction of the costs. Guys were chopping Triple trouts 20 years ago. molix, Chad Shad, taxi Shad, hph and Doomrider are my favorites

Not a collector I have multiples of baits I like vs variety

Wondering if there is another wave of spawners coming. Got a 6.4 and a small one but bite was off.
