Veteran fisherman Rex Pendergrass of Watsonâs Marine and Tackle knows all about what to use on the rolling waters of places like the Holston River or any other small mountain stream around.
âWeâre blessed with some really good rivers in our area,â Pendergrass said. âOne of the best things to use is a suspending jerk bait. These little things are dynamite in about all of our area streams and rivers.
