Fall Lures
#1
Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Creature
Color: Junebug · Size: 4.75 inch
Pitch and drag the creature bait through brush piles with a slow, deliberate presentation. Use a 3/8 oz bullet sinker to maintain contact with the structure while keeping the bait in the strike zone longer.
Clear water and 58°F temperature demand finesse; brush piles concentrate spotted bass in fall, and the MaxScent formula triggers bites when fish are lethargic in cooling water.
#2
Rapala Original Floater
Color: Silver · Size: #7
Work the jerkbait with sharp 2–3 foot pulls followed by 3–5 second pauses around submerged vegetation edges. The suspending action mimics dying baitfish and triggers reaction strikes from spotted bass holding in weed transitions.
Clear water and steady pressure favor a natural minnow profile; submerged vegetation in fall holds spotted bass along edges, and the #7 size matches forage in this region.
#3
Strike King Tour Grade Jig
Color: Black/Blue · Size: 3/8 oz
Vertically hop and drag the jig around stumps and standing timber, maintaining bottom contact. The craw trailer provides natural profile and scent; work it methodically around each piece of wood with short lifts and controlled drops.
58°F water and clear conditions call for a bottom-contact presentation; stumps and standing timber are classic spotted bass ambush points in fall, and the jig's versatility covers this structure type effectively.
