Keith Tuma made what he believed was a key adjustment to his bladed jig. âEverybody else who was in the area was throwing ChatterBaits with paddletail trailers, but I think that the little subtle difference in my trailer made the fish want to eat,â he said. âI was getting bit when other guys werenât.â
