What is your first choice of artificial baits to cast this spring, the water temps are in the low 50's and we are in a warming trend.
I will go to a Slammer twitch bait for my choice. What is yours?

More than likely the first bait I will get wet in Wisconsin this year will be a six inch Grandma.

The 6' Slammer Drop Belly Glider in the golden shinner color pattern. Make sure to give the bait long pauses between twitches.
