BAIT 1: Strike King Tour Grade Football Jig with Mid-size Rage Bug trailer

If the water is clear, Suggs prefers Green Pumpkin. In stained water, he switches to Bama Craw. For muddy water, Suggs will favor Falcon Lake Craw. Suggs opts for the Green Pumpkin Mid-Size Rage Bug in all water conditions. 

The ultimate jig for deep water fishing – the Tour Grade Football Jig has a football-shaped head that gives a better feel of terrain and helps the bait stand on the bottom.

BAIT 2: Strike King Ned Ocho

His choice for clear water is Green Pumpkin, while he goes for Blue Craw if the water is stained. Black Blue Swirl is his first choice in muddy conditions. 

KVD Perfect Plastics Ned Ocho has a heavily ribbed, octagonal design, a slow sink rate, and an exclusive coffee scent for attracting more bites.

Bait 4: Strike King Filler Worm 

If the water is clear, he will throw Morning Dawn, while more stained water calls for Magic. Dingleberry is his favorite for muddy conditions.  

The Strike King KVD Filler Worm is designed to be fished for a finesse presentation, featuring a wide head for added durability, increasing the strength of the plastic to last for multiple fish catches.
