River Ledges

When fishing a Recoil Rig on river ledges from very shallow to very deep with a sharp drop off, triple your cord and use a 2- to 3-oz weight. Work the Rig to the drop off, and then carefully stretch the Rig out to where you believe the weight is still sitting on the edge of the shallows and the lure is over the deep water. Work the lure gently and steady as long as possible, creating an “injured minnow” presentation.

When the weights pulls over the edge, feed line for a straight fall, give it one series of motions at the bottom of the drop, then reel in and start over.

This is an awesome presentation for bass that are feeding on these shallow ledges along river systems.
