I know it’s been a minute since I posted, but here’s a handful of bass from the past few weeks. šŸŽ£

I’ve been putting time in learning new techniques—finally committing to throwing a squarebill, crankbait, and even a frog. I’ll be honest, it’s tough to put the wacky rig and drop shot down, but the crank and frog bites have been šŸ”„ lately.

Next up on the list: mastering the jerkbait. Can’t wait to see where it takes me.

What’s the bait you’ve been stepping outside your comfort zone with this season?

Pound for pound one of my favorite fish!

I think that’s what I’m leaning towards. I like those big fat squarebills. I just need to learn how to fish them to gain more confidence.

John this is great advice. Also measure and photo before handing a 22ā€ fish to a friend to weigh…. Right Mack?

Thanks, Alex! Worm draggin’ has always been my comfort zone, but this is the year I’m branching out. SUF really opened up a whole new toolbox for me, and I’m finally giving crankbaits a real shot; rattles, patterns, and all. Appreciate you sharing the lineup!

Crankbait Confession šŸŽ£

I fish mostly 3–8 ft and still feel like I’m guessing brands and reeling with my eyes closed. Crankbaits and squarebills? I’m basically casting and hoping the bass are feeling generous.

So help me out:

Go-to for stained water? Clear water?

Rattles or ninja-silent?

Favorite color that actually works, not just looks pretty on the peg?

I’m rewatching the crankbait series, trying to avoid becoming a full-time worm dragger. šŸ˜‚

Drop your crankbait wisdom below šŸ‘‡
