Summer Lures
#1
ChatterBait
Color: Chartreuse/White · Size: 3/8 oz
Cast to weed edges and lilypad pockets; use steady retrieve with occasional pauses to trigger strikes. The vibration cuts through stained water and the wind helps you cover more water quickly.
Stained water + weeds + 12 mph wind + midday = reaction bait excels; ChatterBait's vibration and bright color punch through clarity loss, wind concentrates fish on structure, and steady retrieve works in full sun.
#2
Swim Jig
Color: Chartreuse/Black · Size: 3/8 oz
Swim through weed gaps and around lilypad stems with a steady, medium-speed retrieve; let it fall briefly in open pockets. Wind-blown banks will hold concentrated fish.
Weedless jig design handles dense cover; stained water + wind + reaction feeding = bright colors and vibration trigger strikes; 68°F is peak activity temperature.
#3
Hollow Frog
Color: Chartreuse/Black · Size: 2.5 inch
Walk the frog across lilypad tops and through weed mats with a steady cadence; pause briefly over open water pockets. The wind will help you cover more surface area.
Weedless topwater is ideal for dense lilypads; stained water + wind + midday sun = fish will chase surface disturbance; recent rain may have pushed bass shallow into cover.
