- Expert Pick #1
- GP 1 Summary:
- The Slow-Roll Rock Pick
- GP 1 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 3/4 oz • Single Indiana • Warmouth • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 1 Why:
- Warmouth and green sunfish are common around rocky areas, making this color a natural match. The 3/4 oz weight and single Indiana blade are well suited for a controlled slow-roll presentation near the bottom.
- GP 1 How:
- Slow-roll it just above the bottom, letting it occasionally make contact with rock or hard cover before continuing the retrieve. Keep the bait close to bottom without dragging it continuously.
- GP 1 When:
- Choose this when bass are holding near rock or hard bottom and you want to imitate warmouth or green sunfish with a slower presentation that stays close to the bottom.
- GP Eyebrow:

- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- The Shallow-to-Mid Rock Pick
- GP 2 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Double Willow • Blue Herron • Nickel Kicker • Nickel Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 2 Why:
- Blue Herron is a versatile forage color that can suggest shad, young bluegill, crappie and other baitfish. The double willow blades add plenty of flash for covering shallow to mid-depth rocky water.
- GP 2 How:
- Target rock transitions and keep the bait at the depth where it just disappears from view. Hold that depth and retrieve it steadily through the zone, staying close enough to the rock to trigger fish using the transition.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose this when bass are using shallow to mid-depth rock and you want a versatile baitfish profile with strong flash for covering transitions and other rocky changes.

- Expert Pick #3
- GP 3 Summary:
- The Finesse Football Jig Pick
- GP 3 Details:
- Puggle Jig • 5/16 oz • Green Pumpkin • Finesse Cut Hybrid Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 3 Why:
- The Puggle is a finesse football jig that works especially well around rock and hard bottom. Green Pumpkin is a proven natural color, while the hybrid skirt continues moving even when the jig is sitting still.
- GP 3 How:
- Drag it along rock and hard bottom with frequent pauses. Let the football head work across the bottom, then give the bait time to sit so the hybrid skirt can continue moving without added action from the rod.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose this when bass are relating closely to rock or hard bottom and you want a smaller, more subtle bottom presentation, especially when a natural Green Pumpkin color and slower drag-and-pause approach fit the situation.
- GP 4 Badge:
- Expert Pick #4
- GP 4 Summary:
- The PB&J Crawfish Rock Pick
- GP 4 Details:
- Puggle Jig • 5/16 oz • PB&J • Full Cut Hybrid Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 4 Why:
- PB&J is a classic crawfish color, especially around rocky water. It has long been a staple in the Ozarks, but the natural brown and purple tones make it effective anywhere crawfish are present around rock.
- GP 4 How:
- Drag it slowly across rock and hard bottom with pauses between movements. Let the football-style head maintain bottom contact while the full-cut hybrid skirt continues to move when the jig is sitting still.
- GP 4 When:
- Choose this when bass are feeding on crawfish around rock and you want a proven finesse football jig color that works especially well on rocky banks, points and transitions.
- GP 5 Badge:
- Expert Pick #5
- GP 5 Summary:
- The Offshore Big-Fish Rock Pick
- GP 5 Details:
- Hawg Seeker Mop Jig • 3/4 oz • Rusty Craw • Football Head • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 5 Why:
- The Hawg Seeker Mop Jig gives you a larger profile for targeting bigger bass around offshore rock. Its mixed skirt combines the shape and color of silicone with the added movement of living rubber.
- GP 5 How:
- Drag it across offshore rock, points and hard-bottom structure, keeping consistent bottom contact and pausing often. Let the larger profile and living-rubber movement work while the jig sits between pulls.
- GP 5 When:
- Choose this when you are targeting bigger bass around deeper or offshore rock and want a substantial crawfish presentation. Rusty Craw gives you a natural brown craw color that fits rocky habitat especially well.
- GP 6 Badge:
- Expert Pick #6
- GP 6 Summary:
- The Green Craw & Sunfish Rock Pick
- GP 6 Details:
- Hawg Seeker Mop Jig • 3/4 oz • Green Pumpkin Red Flake • Football Head • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 6 Why:
- This pick keeps the same large-profile offshore rock presentation as Pick #5, but Green Pumpkin Red Flake represents crayfish in greener tones and can also suggest bluegill or other sunfish.
- GP 6 How:
- Drag it across offshore rock, points and hard-bottom structure with frequent pauses. Keep it in contact with the bottom and let the mixed skirt continue moving when the jig is sitting still.
- GP 6 When:
- Choose this when you want a large bottom presentation around offshore rock but prefer a greener, more versatile forage profile that can represent both crayfish and sunfish.
