Summer Lures
#1
Berkley PowerBait Hollow Body Frog
Color: Black · Size: 2.5 inch
Cast over lily pads and work with short, deliberate hops and pauses. Let it sit 2–3 seconds between twitches to trigger strikes from bass holding in the pads.
Lily pads at night with overcast conditions and 77°F water demand a weedless topwater that mimics natural prey; hollow body frogs excel in this exact scenario and the recent rain has activated shallow bass.
#2
Zoom Brush Hog
Color: Watermelon Red · Size: 4.75 inch
Punch through emergent vegetation with a heavy 1 oz weight, working vertically and along the edges. Drop into pockets and hold for 2–3 seconds before punching to the next spot.
Emergent vegetation at night requires a weedless, compact presentation that penetrates thick cover; the punch rig with a creature bait is the standard for this structure type and summer conditions.
#3
Rapala Shad Rap
Color: Shad · Size: 2.5 inch
Cast parallel to submerged vegetation edges and retrieve with a steady, moderate pace. Allow the crankbait to tick and deflect off vegetation; pause briefly when contacting weeds to trigger reaction strikes.
Submerged vegetation at night with overcast skies and steady pressure favors a shad-profile crankbait that mimics the dominant forage and creates vibration in low-light conditions.
#4
Berkley PowerBait Chigger Craw
Color: Black · Size: 2.75 inch
Cast to shallow structure and weed edges; work with slow, deliberate crawling motion along bottom and through grass. Pause frequently to let the craw settle naturally.
Overcast night conditions with recent rain and steady pressure favor aggressive crawfish presentations in shallow cover; waxing gibbous moon supports topwater-adjacent shallow hunting; 77°F water is peak activity zone.
#5
Rapala Skitter Pop
Color: Black · Size: 7
Cast near shallow structure, docks, and grass edges; work with sharp, rhythmic pops followed by brief pauses. Let the lure rest 1–2 seconds between pops to trigger strikes from hunting bass.
Night fishing with overcast skies and waxing gibbous moon creates ideal topwater conditions; calm 3 mph wind allows precise popper work; recent rain has bass feeding shallow in low-light conditions.
