When Rojas fished the edges of grass, he opted for a topwater presentation much of the time. Here is his topwater setup:
Rod: Quantum Dean Rojas Tour Edition, 7-foot medium action
Reel: Quantum Smoke baitcaster, 6.6:1
Line: 16-pound Sunline Supernatural fluorocarbon
Bait: Spro Hydropop topwater popper
Rojas also threw an assortment of small swim baits, none of which, according to him, played greatly into his winning catch.
