Best Lures
Mansory Pro BFS Reel + 35mm TPE Fork-Tail — the program local anglers run on this water.
Best Baits
For the striped bass water: cut anchovy and shad are the standard Delta baits. For bass water: live shiners where legal, otherwise soft plastics do the work.
Gear to Bring
Mansory Pro BFS Reel + 35mm TPE Fork-Tail. Delta grass is heavy — braid in the 30–65 lb class with a fluoro leader is the regional standard.
