Bro, when bass are feeding on shad or minnows, you need something with that realistic swimming action. The Bash Minnow gets it done.
This swimbait has a paddle tail that kicks on the retrieve, creating that natural baitfish swimming motion. Whether you're fishing shallow or deep, this thing imitates what bass are already eating.
How I Fish It:
- Weighted Swimbait Hook - My go-to for covering water, steady retrieve
- Jighead - Drop it to bottom, hop it back, or swim it mid-depth
- Texas Rig - When you need weedless around grass or cover
- A-Rig - Throw multiple on an Alabama rig for schooling fish
Real Talk About Swimbaits:
The key is matching your retrieve speed to what the fish want. Some days they want it burning fast, other days they want it crawling slow. Start fast and slow down until you figure them out.
Color Selection:
Got natural shad colors for clear water (Pearl, White) and attractor colors for stained (Chartreuse, Pink). Can't decide? Match your local baitfish or go with what's working in your area.
Target Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, White Bass
