Normally, and anywhere else, if Louisianian Greg Hackney were atop at BassTrakk leaderboard, he would be flipping or pitching his namesake Strike King Hack Attack Heavy Cover Jig, with a Strike King Rage Menace Grub.
It’s his go-to rig for 99% of the time. Here today on Lake Ontario, he is exercising the other 1%.
BassTrakk has him in the lead, although it might be short-lived after catching this 3-4 smallmouth. And he caught it on spinning tackle, using a bucktail jig.
Hackney is now sight fishing and casting to roaming smallmouth, a tactic that has proven successful for him over the past two days.
Hackney is in the company of the likes of Canadians Chris and Cory Johnston. When change is a must, you roll with the flow.
