Fall Lures
#1
Berkley PowerBait Chigger Craw
Color: Watermelon Red · Size: 2.75 inch
Punch through submerged vegetation mats with a heavy 1 oz tungsten weight; work vertically and with short hops to dislodge bass from dense weed cover; let the bait fall on slack line.
Submerged vegetation is a primary fall bass magnet in Garrisons Lake, and a punch rig with a craw profile is the proven local technique for extracting bass from thick weed mats in stained water.
#2
Booyah Buzz
Color: Black · Size: 1/2 oz
Cast tight to lily pad edges and work with steady, aggressive buzzing retrieves to trigger reaction strikes from bass holding in the shallow pad matrix; pause briefly over open pockets.
Rising pressure and clear skies push bass to shallow cover at midday; lily pads offer the shade and ambush points bass seek, and a loud topwater buzz cuts through stained water and generates reaction strikes when fish are neutral.
#3
Strike King Tour Grade Crankbait
Color: Chartreuse Shad · Size: 1.5
Cast to brush piles and rocky structure; use a steady, moderate retrieve that allows the crankbait to deflect off wood and rocks, triggering reaction strikes; pause briefly over deeper pockets.
Brush piles and rocky structure in 6–12 ft hold fall bass as water cools; a chartreuse crankbait cuts through stained water, rising pressure favors reaction baits over finesse, and the deflection action mimics natural forage in this reservoir.
