Although many anglers’ focus turns to shad-imitation baits and lures throughout the fall months, it’s always important to keep a soft plastic crawfish bait nearby. The bass will certainly follow ongoing shad migration into the shallows, but they’ll often use nearby shallow cover as ambush points— and make no mistake about it, big bass won’t think twice before inhaling a well-placed craw bait.
I’ve been doing a lot of fishing lately with the Berkley Powerbait Chigger Craw. After thousands of flips and pitches both at home and abroad, I’ve been very impressed with it.
