Bryan Schmitt wasted no time getting on the BassTrakk scoreboard. His first cast, near the Plattsburgh City Marina, yielded a 2-pounder.
He’s primarily relying on this trio of baits. On a spinning rig is a Missile Baits Ned Bomb, on a 1/4-ounce jighead. On a casting combo is a Missile Baits Quiver Worm, Cherry Blossom, rigged on a 4/0 Haybusa WRM959 Wide Gap Hook, with a 3/8-ounce Reins Tungsten weight. Lastly, he is using a Missile Baits D Bomb, in the new Texas Toast pattern, with a 5/0 FPP Hayabusa Straight Shank Hook, and a 5/16-ounce Reins Tungsten Weight.
