Summer Lures
#1
Senko
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 5 inch
Rig through the middle and let it fall on semi-slack line along deep grass and hard transitions. Pause 2–3 seconds between drops.
Natural fall action triggers reaction bites in summer morning conditions with moderate light penetration.
#2
Rapala Original Floater
Color: Perch · Size: 3.5 inch
Twitch-twitch-pause near shallow vegetation and current breaks. Work it with a steady cadence to mimic fleeing baitfish.
Reelfoot's baitfish profile and morning light favor a reactive topwater-style presentation in shallow zones.
#3
Chatterbait
Color: Chartreuse Black · Size: 3/8 oz
Cast along grass edges and deeper structure, retrieve at a steady medium pace with occasional pauses. Let it vibrate over holes and drop-offs.
The vibration cuts through early-morning haze and attracts bass in summer when they're positioned on deeper structure during daylight hours.
