bucktail jigs and tighten down the drag....I fish heavy current a lot. Water balsts the river mouth I fish. Sometimes need a 3 or 4 oz to keep on bottom, and when they hit, have that drag just below closed. Let the reel and rod do most of the work but def keep them up top. when they turn back into that current and start to dive, things can get pretty funky. I like to lead them right to my waiting bridge net that I have tied down and can kick in while fighting, so it's already in the water ready to go.
