We started catching just prior to when the current was flooding the swiftest (0.99 kts) at the location we were fishing on the Chesapeake Bay. We were in Billy's boat and during the 1st drift he put us on the fish. The water temperature was 39.5 degrees so we went with, from our experience, the most productive lure in cold water...Z-Man Scented Jerk Shadz 5 & 7 inch.

I have tested the above Z-Man lures against other soft plastic baits, both with or without scent. The one with scent ran a close 2nd, where the non scented plastic wasn't in the running. The Z-Man, 5" Redbone, pictured above, landed over 15 stripers and is still ready for more. There is no need to change them for a fresh one unless they are coming off the hook.
Doug Landed the Largest Striper for the Trip
I Also Landed a Nice One
