Andy Morgan's Pattern, Baits & Gear
Sight-fishing gear: 7'6" medium-heavy iRod Morgan's Junk Rod, Lew's Super Duty casting reel (8:1 gear ratio), 16-pound Gamma Edge fluorocarbon line, 4/0 Easy2Hook Elite Pro Series flipping hook, Zoom Z-Craw (green-pumpkin).
Spinnerbait gear: 7' medium heavy iRod, Team Lew's Lite casting reel (6.4:1 ratio), 14-pound Gamma Edge fluorocarbon, 1/2-ounce War Eagle spinnerbait (sexy shad with No. 3 gold and No. 4 silver willow-leaf blades).
Shaky-head gear: 6'10" medium-heavy iRod, Team Lew's Gold Spin reel, 8-pound Gamma Edge fluorocarbon, 1/8-ounce War Eagle shaky-head jig, Zoom Finesse Worm (green-pumpkin).
Main factor: "Just finding some of those decent-size bed-fish."
Performance edge: "I really like the new Garmin GPS unit - you can mark waypoints and go directly back to where you need to go. You hear a lot about GPS for deep water, but it can be very important in shallow water, too. I'm not a great graph guy, but these are pretty simple and they work great for me."
