Since the weather is starting to warm up in the Midwest and our Northern friends are spending more time out on the water, we figured this would be a good time to list three of the bass baits we’ve recently become hooked on down here in the South. When selecting baits for an upcoming fishing trip, remember to do some research and find out what the fish are feeding on naturally in your area or region.
Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper
Looks and sounds a bit saucy, but this soft plastic bait is genuinely effective in and around all types of structure. Your best bet is to order the “Skinny Dipper” online or by checking the list of dealers on the website.
Zoom Soft Plastic Baits G-Tail Ringer
The G-Tail Ringer is a combination of Zoom’s G-Tail Worm and their popular Dead Ringer. Highly-effective soft plastic with ringed body and G-shaped tail that produces a tremendous fluttering action.
Bill Lewis Floating Rat-L-Trap
This hardbait boasts some serious fish-catching success. Shad-like profile, perfect for casting along weedbeds, grass lines and other shallow structure. Rat-L-Traps come in a variety of colors and sizes, so remember to “match the hatch” for your area. Good value, durable and easy to use.
