Top Lures: Where to Use: Over hydrilla, lily pads, or scattered grass Points, docks, or flats with shad presence Calm mornings or overcast days Pro Tips: Use braided line (4065 lb.) for frogs Let the lure sit after cast, then twitch subtly Pause between pops or walks thats often when bass strike Jigs Jigs are not my go-to lure when bass fishing but for many anglers when summer bass get finicky in the summer heat jigs are their choice
If the worm reaches bottom without being attacked, lift your rod tip to bring the lure back up well off the bottom, then drop the rod tip and allow it to sink again
You can perform magic with the right rod to get the ultimate effect, whether you want to rip it or use subtle movements for inactive gamefish
Thats the whole idea, but to increase your chances for success, the hook has to be the right size, sharp enough, and matched to your bait and target fish
Using a sharpie, mark the baggie with the date and line type/strength
