Summer Lures
#1
ChatterBait
Color: Chartreuse/White · Size: 3/8 oz
Cast tight to weed edges and lilypads; retrieve steadily with a slow roll, letting the blade vibration call fish through stained water. Pause briefly near dense cover.
Stained water + low pressure + overcast + recent rain runoff demands a reaction bait with vibration and bright color; ChatterBait excels in these exact conditions and weed cover.
#2
Spinnerbait
Color: Chartreuse/White · Size: 1/2 oz
Slow-roll along wood and riprap edges, keeping the blade thumping. Evening light and overcast conditions favor a steady retrieve that generates vibration and flash to call fish in from deeper structure.
Stained water + overcast + evening + high pressure = reaction bait with vibration; spinnerbait's blade flash and thump cut through stain and trigger aggressive strikes when fish are feeding in low light.
#3
Swim Jig
Color: Chartreuse/Black · Size: 3/8 oz
Swim through weed gaps and around lilypads with a steady, medium-speed retrieve; let it rise slightly on pause to trigger strikes from bass holding in shallow cover.
Weedless presentation in shallow weedy cover + stained water + low pressure + overcast evening = swim jig is ideal for searching active shallow bass without snagging.
#4
Lipless Crankbait
Color: Chartreuse · Size: 2.5 inch
Cast and retrieve with sharp jerks and pauses, working the bait through mid-depth rocky and wood structure. The tight vibration and rattle cut through murk; vary speed to trigger strikes.
Lipless crankbaits excel in murky water due to tight vibration and internal rattle; overcast + evening + waxing gibbous moon + recent rain create aggressive feeding conditions where a search bait works best.
#5
Hollow Frog
Color: Chartreuse · Size: 2.5–3 inch
Walk the frog across lilypads and weed mats with a twitch-pause rhythm; keep it in the thickest cover where bass ambush prey during low-light evening.
Overcast evening + waxing gibbous moon + low pressure + shallow weedy cover + recent rain = topwater frog triggers aggressive strikes from shallow-feeding bass in low light.
