I was throwing a 4/0 EWG underspin hook set up with a 3.8" Keitech smallmouth magic swimbait. I had colored the tail with a chartreuse garlic dip. Snelling is not a deep lake but it does have a lot of submerged vegetation. I work submerged weed edges into deeper water (7-8') for the most consistent action. A steady retrieve with a occasional pause was the most effective way to generate a strike that day.
