Wakebait Blanks!

Just like any other topwater baits, wakebaits are a lot of fun to use! When done correctly, it can draw fish to your bait and provide an extremely entertaining method of fishing! Wakebaits are subsurface topwater baits that create a “V” shaped wake behind the bait. These baits often draw fish directly to the bait because of the activity both subsurface and topwater.

A wakebait looks a lot like a crankbait with a downward facing bill. The wobble and wake created by the bait fires signals to a bass’ lateral lines, creating interest. Fishing a wakebait in clear open water or around structure imitates a baitfish’s natural escape instinct, which is to head straight to the surface.

Crankbait Blanks!

Crankbaits are the most preferred hard bait lure by fisherman. Why are they so good? The biggest reason is their ability to get bites from fish that are feeding as well as fish that are not actively feeding. With a wide range of sizes, colors, depths, and action crankbaits can cover it all. Crankbaits are shorter and fatter, mimicking a nice sized snack for predatory fish. They will wobble side to side, while banging against the bottom or the cover you’re fishing, giving off a distinct sound and vibration.

Who doesn’t love fishing with their favorite jerkbait? A jerkbait has a very enticing call to bass even while it sits motionless for seconds at a time. They are extremely effective baits in cooler, clear waters where you can move them slightly and let them sit in a fish’s face, suspending neutrally buoyant, daring them to bite. These lures are designed to create a unique erratic darting action during retrieval and have a suspending motion in-between the reeling action.
