Another day time killer is a Gag`s 3.5 " (I think) chrome popper with feathers and mylar tail or the smaller salty Skitterpop in mullet. Those Rebels jumpers are nice in the 4.5" / .5 oz model.
Makes total sense to me when the prevalent baitfish are all 3 to 5 inches.
Steve`s deadsticking is different. Maybe its the sound when he twitches it without lip? Then profile without lip?
Steve how are you stocked for the older 5.5" / .5 oz Rebel floaters? Or the the 5.5" sinker at 5/8ths oz?
I have killed them on the 4.5" saltwater Rebel in rainbow and brown trout.
or the 5.5" models
