Three of the Top 5 finishers at the recent Forrest Wood Cup threw a propbait in the morning, and two of them (Clark Wendlandt and Bryan Thrift) confirmed they threw the exact same bait – a Prop Bee 3 from Brian's Crankbaits. It's pictured to right.
Mike Surman, who finished 4th, declined to specify which propbait he threw, but Brian's posted a note on its website that says Surman threw the Prop Bee 3 as well.
The color Wendlandt and Thrift threw is called baby bream, and it's meant to be fished around bream (sunfish) beds. For more about the bait, click here.
