This event was tough on everyone.
Falling water and constantly changing weather conditions turned the FLW event into a grinder.
For eventual winner Jeremy Lawyer, his decades of experience on Grand Lake helped him make it happen.

Brian Latimer took home his first trophy from the FLW tour a few days ago.
Today let’s take a look at a few of the baits that put fish in his boat and some money in his pocket.
Bill Lewis MR-6
Bill Lewis is one of the OGs of the crankbait game.
My first exposure to using a hard plastic bait as a kid was the original Rat-L Trap. I had no idea what I was doing, but somehow managed to still put a few on my thumb.
The MR-6 is a 6 foot runner designed in conjunction with our friend Mark Daniels Jr.
It runs true out of the box, has solid construction that holds up to bite after bite, and produces a low-pitch knocking sound to attract fish in dirty water conditions.
With a wide variety of colors available, and a very attractive price point, this is one that can fill your tackle box without breaking the bank.
Z-man Palmetto Bugz
Latimer’s big winner was the Z-man Palmetto BugZ.
If you’ve read anything we’ve written over the past couple of years, you know we’ve been high on Z-man. The bottom line is they just put out great baits that last surprisingly long for soft-plastics.
Brian flipped his Palmetto using a 1/2 ounce weight. It was a straight forward, no frills approach that ended up winning the tournament.
The Palmetto BugZ come in a five pack.
