Mepps Master caught majority of the fish doing #2. It was amazing to watch DC demos his technique and boats fish after fish. My last several trips to twok, the #4 mepps caught more fish than other lures. But today the fish were super finicky and do not want #4 and I am forced to cast #2 or watch the DC catching show LOL. Working #2 is quite different and difficult imo than the #4 and it took me a good while to get it with DC coaching me. Thanks DC! The trick is to get the light lure spinning as close to the bottom as possible, the longer the better. Once you achieve that, play with variable retrieve speed to see what fish want. 2 to 5 cranks, drop and repeat back to boat. Leave some line slack, jerk rod tip horizontally, as soon you feel the blade spins then reel. Many of the boats we saw were trollling to catch a few. It was a sunny blue-bird sky day with little wind typically made for tuff catching but DC has been saying and teaching go do #2 and that was amazing to witness. An itsy bitsy lure catching BIG quality fish. I'll be dammed! You keep talking like that and I might have to give these things a try Good info to know about how much difference there can be between a #2 & #4

Hey Z Holzer. #4 weighs 1/4 oz and I can cast that easily with 10#test line but #2 is only 1/8 oz and requires practice practice to feel the spinning blade and knowing the depth ! Light gear and line, and fishing shallow 20 fow or less help  I enjoy the hunt, the fellowship and trying something new out of my comfort zone. Catching is a bonus
