Location, location, location ! #1. Find fish/ catch fish. Granted, what is cast can be important when it comes to fish size and aggressiveness. Larger lures usually exclude smaller fish - but not the other way around. I've caught many lunkers on small lures and light tackle such as these:
Different lures require different presentations to catch fish - something rarely mentioned in most forums. It's not just what is cast, but the speed of the retrieve, type retrieve and where in the water column the lure is used. Anyone can give examples of the large fish and quantities of fish they caught, but details matter and without them, it's more brag than fact IMO.
