In muddy water a white chatterbait is killer. The Jackhammers are more expensive but worth it, especially for the better quality hook. I like the Keitech Fat Impact for a trailer in stained water but if the water is somewhat dirty, I like the Yamamoto Zako.

Omnia report Is the early summer the red ear move up to spawn. A small jig head with a juicy plastic is one of my favorite ways to target these fish. With a fast rod like the one I have linked above are great. The fast tip allows you to pop your rod and break your jig free of the weeds. I choose to use the under spin in this application because with the light jig head the blade adds a little extra resistance. This helps you keep your jig head submerged.

When the wind gets bowing and it’s over cast I pull out the offspring. I like to remove the skirt and use a swimbait or a Jenko tremor shad because of its long wiggly tail.

The bass suspend in standing timber in the late summer. You can target them using jerkbaits. Depending on the conditions I retrieve it differently.
