Christie uses a YUM Craw Chunk as a jig trailer. The package is his go-to for flipping heavy cover from docks and bushes to thick vegetation.

A key add-on is the 4-inch YUM FF Sonar Minnow.

Christies prefers this shallow-running squarebill model for stained water. Migratory transition areas like stumps, rock, riprap and more are lure targets. “With 12-pound line I can touch bottom up to 10-feet deep,” Christie said.

Christie switches from the jig to this bait when the spawn is underway and largemouth are on the beds. “It’s a more subtle bait that won’t run off spooky fish,” he said. “The profile and action represent danger to the fish, and they’ll attack it.”

When all else fails, Christie goes to the tried-and-true YUM Dinger. Rig it Texas style for flipping, Carolina rigged, wacky rigged or for casting.
