Go back to the fly rod and use a Bream Getter... they eat that thing up...

Definitely go with a floating bug of some sort. We used to slay some bream with Miss Prissy's and other similar floating poppers. They're suckers for anything bug/critter-like wiggling on the surface

A fly rod is ideal but we did it as kids for many years with regular spinning rods. Watch for trees behind you when loading up that back cast

The ol bream getter. When I was a kid, I walked many a creek in Washington Parish slaying bream with that bait. "Fly fishing" my mini cast.

I prefer the black or orange.

Also, nothing like having a catfish hit the top of the water to eat that spider. You just think that a bass is a fight on a fly rod.

I'd forgotten the name of that bait. Appreciate you remindind me of it. WM used to carry it, but stopped doing so some years ago. A fly rod is nice to use, but I've used top waters and spinning reels w/ light weight line to catch bream for many years. I like to tie the top water about 18-24" behind the float. The "Bream Getter" and others already mentioned are good, but through the years I've also used whatever fly is in season for bait.
