Popular Baits by Season
What bass are doing in the water, and what anglers are buying up to match — season by season.
Early Fall
Baitfish push into creek arms and shallow coves, and bass follow, feeding hard to bulk up for winter. Spinnerbaits, squarebill crankbaits, topwater prop baits, and small shad-sized swimbaits.
