During the practice days before the 2013 HSFWF, the Clady team used soft plastic bait that was wacky rigged and texas rigged. The first day of the tournament the grass bite was not as strong. The weather had changed and the very high temperatures forced the team to their fishing tactics. The grass bite was not as strong as it was during the practice days. They only had one small keeper (which was caught wacky rigging) us the K&J Tackle tool and rings. Three hours into the first day of the tournament they realized they needed to make some changes. The decision they made was to fish deep and for the next ythree days they fished shaky heads, deep diving crank baits, and texas- rigs. The go to baits were soft plastic on shaky heads and texas rigged.
