Hey Dusty,
Yesterday, I found really good topwater action but the bait was small and the stripers seemed keyed on it. So after losing 2 nice fish. I switched to jerk baits and then figured I'd try and match the hatch and the only smallish minnow plug I had was one of your Intruder Pro Shad Jerkbaits. On my second cast, I nailed a pig, well over 20# maybe 30# and it came unbuttoned. I was expecting to see bent hooks and what I instead got were 2 face scales on one prong of the front treble hook. In the next hour, I hooked 4 more fish in the 4-12# range. I found that gliding the bait along the current seam of the river and just barely twitching my rod tip every couple of seconds was deadly. I never even let the lip dig more than 3 inches under the surface. It was a completely different way of working a jerkbait for me personally.
I'm going back today to hopefully repeat yesterday's success.

Nelson Burnell of Canal Fulton, Ohio lands a 20 lb peacock bass on one of the prototypes of the Intruder Pro Shads. Nelson is a veteran peacock bass angler and had been field testing these new jerkbaits on the hard fighting peacock bass. This trophy peacock came from a lagoon off a tributary of the mighty Rio Negro, the largest blackwater tributary of the Amazon River. Nelson was fishing out of the Rio Negro Lodge. Despite water conditions that were not optimal for prime peacock bass success, Nelson did very well on the Pro Shad.
