Swimbait / Glide Presentation
When & where: Points, flats, and open water where bass are feeding on panfish or baitfish.
How: Rig on a weighted swimbait hook or glide-style rig and retrieve steadily with occasional pauses.
Why: The ribbed body displaces water and creates a natural glide that triggers followers to commit.
Underspin / Bladed Jig Trailer
When & where: Grass lines, docks, and transition zones.
How: Thread on as a trailer and maintain a controlled retrieve.
Why: Adds bulk, vibration, and realism behind a blade.
Texas Rig
When & where: Heavy cover, reeds, wood, and vegetation.
How: Rig weedless with a bullet weight and swim or hop through cover.
Why: Combines a subtle glide with snag resistance.
Carolina Rig
When & where: Deeper flats and contour edges.
How: Slow drag with a longer leader.
Why: Keeps the bait swimming just off bottom for longer exposure.
Clear water favors natural pearl and silver tones. Stained water benefits from greens and blues with flake. Muddy or low-light conditions call for darker, high-contrast colors.
