	<strong>1. Yum Wooly Bug</strong></p>
<p>
	Evers likes this in black/blue shadow color best. “This is my confidence bait; I catch ‘em on it almost everywhere,” Evers said. “It’s a good crawfish imitation and it works all over the country. If I need to get a bite, this is what I put on.” Photo courtesy of Tackle Warehouse, <a href=

	<strong>2. Yum Money Craw</strong></p>
<p>
	“I’ve won a bunch of money on this thing. It’s got a great action either by itself or as a jig trailer,” he said. “I’ll also put it on a Pumpkin’Ed jighead when sight fishing.” Evers used a white Money Craw in his Elite Series win on Florida’s St. Johns River. See next side for the Pumpkin’Ed jighead. Fourteen colors are available. Photo courtesy of Tackel Warehoue, <a href=

	<strong>Pumpkin’Ed jighead</strong></p>
<p>
	In lighter sizes, this is a good shaky jighead. Evers will also use it as a standup jighead in the heavier sizes (5/16, 5/8 ounce). It’s available in both black and green pumpkin. Photo courtesy of Tackle Warehouse, <a href=

	4. Yum MightEE Worm</p>
<p>
	“When I’m fishing pressured areas, or want to get a big bite, the MightEE Worm is my go-to,” he said. “I like it in the plum color; it’s one of my all-time favorites.” Evers goes on to say that this 10 1/2-worm a good summer structure bait. “When on a Pumpkin’Ed jighead, it stands straight up and down.”</p>

	<strong>4. Yum Mighty Bug</strong></p>
<p>
	Evers says a Cajun neon-colored Mighty Bug is hard to beat on the end of a Carolina rig. He’ll also put it on the Pumpkin’Ed. “This is also a good jig trailer; it’s really versatile,” he said. The Mighty Bug measures 3, 3 1/4, or 3 1/2 inches. Photo courtesy of Tackle Warehouse <a href=

	<strong>5. Yum Dinger</strong></p>

	Evers never leaves the dock without a healthy supply of 6-inch watermelon/red Dingers. “Any time in the spring or postspawn, or anything when the fish are shallow, this is great around stump, grass and docks,” he said. Photo courtesy of Tackle Warehouse <a href=
