Summer Lures
#1
Senko
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 5 inch
Cast near shallow cover and structure, work it on semi-slack line with subtle twitches and natural falls.
Wacky-rigged Senkos excel in summer mornings when bass suspend in moderate depths; the subtle fall action triggers bites in partly cloudy conditions.
#2
Rapala Original Floater
Color: Perch · Size: 3.5 inch
Execute sharp twitch-twitch-pause cadences near shallow rock formations and submerged timber; allow 1–2 second pauses between jerks.
Injured baitfish profile and shallow-running depth match morning feeding windows in reservoir conditions with moderate cloud cover.
#3
Chatterbait
Color: Chartreuse Shad · Size: 3/8 oz
Cast and slowly drag or swim along deeper transitions and submerged channel ledges; maintain contact with bottom while working laterally.
Vibration and flash cut through partly cloudy light and trigger reaction strikes from deeper summer bass moving toward shallower feeding zones.
