Bro, you ever see bass suspended off a point or ledge, staring at your sonar, and they just won't bite? Freefall Fry time.
This bait was designed to mimic a dying shad or small baitfish falling through the water column. That natural fall triggers instinct strikes from bass that won't chase anything else.
Money Presentations:
- Drop Shot - My #1, let it sit and quiver, or shake it subtly
- Free Rig - Fall it through suspended fish on ledges
- Neko Rig - Weight in the nose, let it fall and shimmy
- Tokyo Rig - Keeps it off bottom with that wire leader
When It Shines:
Clear water, pressured fish, cold fronts, summer when bass are deep - basically any tough bite situation where finesse is the game.
Real Talk:
This is a vertical presentation bait. You're not covering water, you're targeting specific fish or structure. Use your electronics, find the fish, and drop it on their heads.
Color Tips:
Match local baitfish for clear water (Pearl, White, Natural Shad). Use attractors (Chartreuse, Pink) in stained water or low light.
Target Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass
