Summer Lures
#1
Senko
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 5 inch
Cast near shallow cover and docks, let it fall on semi-slack line with minimal twitches.
Clear water and bright sun drive bass to shade; wacky-rigged Senko's natural fall mimics fleeing prey in cover.
#2
Rapala Original Floater
Color: Shad · Size: 3.5 inch
Cast toward shaded areas like docks and trees, twitch-pause with slight jerks to mimic wounded baitfish.
Low wind and clear skies concentrate bass in shade; jerkbait's erratic action triggers aggressive midday bites near cover.
#3
Ned Rig TRD
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 2.75 inch
Cast near deeper structure and work it with light hops and drags; let it sit briefly between movements to appeal to finicky midday bass.
The compact profile and minimal weight excel in clear water when bass are less aggressive; the mushroom jig head keeps it in the strike zone during slow presentations.
#4
Football Jig
Color: Black/Blue · Size: 3/8 oz
Drag along the bottom and rocks in deeper channels, pausing occasionally to trigger reaction strikes.
Recent rain runoff creates murky zones where bass retreat from midday heat; football jig searches deeper structure efficiently.
