Troy Morrow's Pattern, Baits & Gear
Texas rig gear: 7'6" heavy-action Duckett Fishing rod, Lew's Tournament Pro casting reel (7.1:1 ratio), 20-pound Sunline Super FC Sniper fluorocarbon line, 1/2-ounce Eco Pro tungsten weight (unpegged), 6/0 Gamakatsu offset-shank hook, 10 1/2" Zoom Ol' Monster worm (California 420).
Shaky-head gear: 7' medium-heavy Duckett Fishing rod, unnamed spinning reel, 16-pound Sunline SX1 braided line, 8-pound Sunline Sniper fluorocarbon leader, unnamed 3/16-ounce shaky-head jig, Zoom Trick Worm (plum apple). One of the crankbaits he used was from the Spro Little John series. It was custom-painted to a green shad hue by Extreme Lure Creations.
Main factor: "Figuring out that I needed to stay in that one place."
Performance edge: "My electronics were a big factor. At a couple of the places I marked I dropped a camera down to see the size of the fish and that gave me a very good clue that this was a different type of spot."
