Brian Thrift
2007 Gain Rookie of the Year Bryan Thrift of Shelby, N.C., finished in fifth
place with a two-day total of 9 pounds, 12 ounces for $50,000.
Thrift also alternated between shallow and deep patterns during the week.
Interestingly, he too settled on the Brian’s Bees Prop 3 for his shallow
water bite.
His deep grass lure of choice was a Zoom Ultravibe speed worm in green pumpkin
with a ¼-ounce weight.
