Chum are very aggressive and will attack just about anything thats presented right. By anything I mean, roe, wool, spinners, spoons, jigs, flies etc. If you're fishing flowing water I would go with wool, roe or colorado's. If you're fishing backwaters try spinners, spoons, jigs or on the fly if you have the gear.

Sounds like a size 2 blue fox would be a good candidate, although I'll bet that one of Rodney's spinners would work equally as well.

If the water is flowing I would consider using wool or roe or maybe a small colorado. One thing to consider when dealing with such shallow and presumably clear water is that the fish will be spooky so keep your distance, wear clothes that do not stand out and do not make any sudden movements.
