Summer Lures
#1
Senko
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 5 inch
Hook through the middle and cast near shallow cover, grass, or dock pilings. Let it fall on semi-slack line with a natural, slow descent.
Wacky rig excels in summer mornings when bass stage in shallow cover; the horizontal fall mimics dying shad and triggers reaction bites in calm morning conditions.
#2
Chatterbait
Color: Dark Blue/Black · Size: 3/8 oz
Cast along grass edges, dock shadows, and channel transitions. Retrieve steadily with occasional pause-and-twitch to create vibration and flash that attracts bass in moderate light.
The vibration signature and metallic flash cut through the partly cloudy conditions and pull bass from adjacent deeper water into the strike zone during the active morning bite.
#3
Rapala Original Floater
Color: Perch · Size: 3.5 inch
Cast near shallow structure and use sharp twitch-twitch-pause cadence to imitate wounded baitfish fleeing toward shallows at dawn.
Summer mornings see aggressive shallow-feeding bass; the erratic jerkbait action triggers predatory strikes before the sun heats water and forces bass deeper.
