Summer Lures
#1
Booyah Pad Crasher
Color: White · Size: 2.5 inch
Cast to open pockets and edges within floating algae slop and dense mats; walk the dog with steady side-to-side rod motion, allowing the lure to create surface disturbance and commotion. Fish it aggressively to trigger reaction strikes from bass holding in the mat.
Hollow-body construction with weedless hook point buried prevents fouling on algae slop; white color provides high visibility and contrast in clear water at night; walking-dog action mimics fleeing baitfish and triggers aggressive strikes in dense cover.
#2
SPRO Bronzeye Frog 65
Color: Black · Size: 65 mm
Cast directly onto floating mats and lily pad edges, then skitter and pop the frog across the mat surface with short, sharp rod twitches. Pause briefly between pops to let the frog settle; strike hard on any disturbance.
Hollow-body design with fully buried weedless hook rides on top of dense mats and lily pads without fouling; black color cuts through clear water at night and creates maximum silhouette; night feeding bass hunt topwater on matted cover in summer.
#3
Zoom Brush Hog 4.5 inch
Color: Watermelon Red · Size: 4.5 inch
Rig on a 1 oz tungsten sinker with wide-gap hook buried in the creature bait. Punch straight down through dense floating mats and algae slop, working vertically with short hops. Let the rig fall on slack line and detect bites on the drop.
Punch rig with buried hook point punches through thick algae mats without fouling; watermelon red is a proven summer color that bass can detect in clear water; vertical presentation targets bass suspended or holding tight in the densest mat structure.
#4
Strike King Rage Craw
Color: Watermelon Red · Size: 4 inch
Punch the craw through and around emergent vegetation stems with a heavy 1/2 oz tungsten weight. Work it vertically and with short hops, keeping contact with the grass—bass in dense emergent cover respond to the commotion and vibration.
Emergent vegetation demands a weedless punch presentation; the heavy weight and craw profile cut through dense stems and create vibration that attracts bass in thick cover during summer when they're locked in vegetation.
#5
Rapala Skitter Pop
Color: Frog · Size: 3 inch
Cast around lily pad stems and work with steady, rhythmic pops that create a walking-the-dog action. The frog color blends with pad vegetation and triggers reaction strikes from bass hunting in the shallows.
Steady barometric pressure and evening light favor aggressive topwater; the frog pattern matches natural forage around lily pads and the walking action covers water efficiently across pad fields.
