best artificial baits below Bagnell dam Lake of the Ozarks

[Righteous]

I'm brand new to the area having lived here now a little more than a year.  Any tips of thoughts on the best artificial baits to use below the Bagnell dam for white bass and/or hybids.  I'm all catch and release just looking for some fun.

I would start with these.

3-4" white swimbait on a ballhead jig (1/4-1/2oz depending on flow) is always where I start. Flicker shads work well too, but the sheer amount of paddlefish and asian carp make it hard to throw them because you are constantly snagging them.

Here's a good place to start.   You can throw it a mile, and it's a great fish finder.    Rip&pause, Rip&pause, Rip&pause.

Kastmaster has been a classic for good reason.

So is a 4" swimtail on the right weight jighead.  I like a fiber hook guard on the jig.  1/4 low flow, 1/2 high flow.
