All the baits in Matt's film work well in most types of structure and cover. The huddleston works great in shallow grass, brush, trees, whatever. If you can find some lakes with trout, you should be throwing the huddleston. End of discussion. The triple trout and ms slammer work well imitating just about anything and also work well in most shallow cover. Not sure about the rat. I think it mostly imitates... rat :-)

If you aren't around trout at all you *may* want to replace the huddleston with another soft plastic bait which is a little more specific to your local forage. But I'd stick to something in the same genre. In other words soft plastic, mid water column baits that you'd fish exactly like a huddleston. Those Rago lures that won a couple Elite series tournaments last year would be another good option.

Slow sinking soft plastic swimmer + floating wake bait + fast moving hard bait are three main food groups (in that order). I'd stick to them instead of straying to oddball baits such as the mission fish unless there's a really unique situation that calls for it.
