>>1192056Interesting. I would just try standing farther back and going super light weight. Keep the lure in front of the fish for as long as you can. A shaky head or something similar is what I would try. If you can get it right in front of their nose and just give the lure a little movement they'll bite eventually.
>>1192063I caught this guy on a medium rod with 20lb braid and a 15lb flouro leader. Regular bass gear is fine. If you're going to be fishing around a lot of cover then a higher test and stouter rod wouldn't be a bad idea. I don't think freshwater drum get huge like they do at the coast, but I could be wrong.
