Summer Lures
#1
Chatterbait
Color: White/Chartreuse · Size: 3/8 oz
Cast parallel to structure and drop-offs; use steady retrieve with occasional pauses to trigger reaction strikes from suspended stripers avoiding bright midday sun.
Rising pressure and clear bright conditions demand aggressive reaction baits; bladed jigs create vibration and flash that stripers detect in deeper water during midday heat.
#2
Senko
Color: Natural Pearl · Size: 5 inch
Drop shot rig on deep structure and ledges; work vertically with subtle twitches and pauses to entice finicky stripers in clear water avoiding the bright surface.
Clear water and rising pressure favor finesse presentations; drop shot allows precise depth control and natural profile in deep zones where stripers retreat from midday sun.
#3
Rapala Shad Rap
Color: Silver/Blue · Size: 2.5 inch
Cast to deeper structure and points; maintain steady retrieve with occasional pauses; target transition zones where stripers hold during bright conditions.
Crankbaits excel in clear water with rising pressure; the shad profile and natural coloring match forage, and depth range keeps baits in the cooler zones stripers prefer at 79°F midday.
