Summer Lures
#1
Strike King Bitsy Flip
Color: Chartreuse/Black · Size: 2 inch
Punch through dense lilypads and weed mats with a heavy 3/8 oz tungsten weight; use short, aggressive flips to create commotion in the murky water and trigger reaction strikes from bass holding in shallow cover.
Murky water + shallow dense weeds + rising pressure (post-rain) demands a loud, compact presentation; punch rigs excel in matted vegetation on New England ponds, and chartreuse cuts through stained water while rising barometer pushes fish to aggressive feeding windows.
#2
Booyah Buzz
Color: Chartreuse · Size: 1/2 oz
Cast to weed edges and lilypad pockets; work with steady, rhythmic buzzing to create vibration and surface disturbance that bass can locate in murky conditions; pause briefly over deeper pockets between weed clumps.
Mostly cloudy skies + murky water + rising pressure = bass are shallow and aggressive; topwater buzz baits generate vibration and noise that cut through stained water, and the waxing gibbous moon supports active feeding in midday shallow zones.
#3
Zoom Brush Hog
Color: Watermelon Red · Size: 4.75 inch
Texas-rig on 3/16 oz weight; drag and shake through weed stems and around lilypad roots with a slow, deliberate pace; let it fall naturally into pockets and pause to trigger bites from bass relating to structure.
Recent rain (0.555" over 48 hrs) has stained the pond and pushed bass shallow into cover; Texas-rigged creature baits are the regional standard for New England pond weeds, and watermelon red is a proven natural color in murky water that doesn't spook educated fish.
