Bass hold near cover, so the tip that matters most is to put the lure close to it. Match the lure to the cover and the depth, then change the speed of your retrieve until a fish responds.
What lure for weeds and lily pads?
A hollow-bodied frog or a topwater popper. Frogs slide over weeds and the hooks tuck up out of the way. Our frog lure is ABS plastic with a tassel skirt in 12 colours.
What lure for open water and points?
A crankbait or jointed swimbait, retrieved at a steady speed to cover water. Our 85 mm crankbait is 8.5 cm and 15 g; the minnow lure is 11.5 cm with a 0 to 0.5 m dive.
What lure near the bottom?
A skirted jig or a soft craw on a jig head. Our skirted jig is 10 g with a skirt in eight colours, and the craw lures come in a 4-piece set.
What is the best time to fish for bass?
Many anglers fish early and late, when light is low and bass move shallow. Slow down in cold water and speed up in warm.
