Lots of ICAST coverage out there, what did you see that caught your eye this year?

I've noticed on Northern California lakes spinner baits with painted blades catch bigger bass.

Have you found the color of your spinnerbait blades make a difference?

I don't think many guys are using it but I've had good success with the Jackall's Sasuteki Craw. It gets through the thick stuff pretty well and I usually don't use a skirt.

Skirt or no skirt when punchin'?

I just got some of the new Ish crankbaits by River2sea. They look pretty cool but haven't tried them yet. Has anyone tried them and how did they work?

The summer will pass quickly and Bass Angler Magazine has some fall crankbaiting info on its way. If you had to pick a crankbait and color that is your go-to what would it be?

A search bait is one that you can cover water with an attempt to locate bass, wether they bite or just follow the bait. The idea is to locate an area, areas or type of cover thay are relating to at the apticular time. Since bass move quite a bit it can be difficult to find them day after day so a bait that covers water can help with this. Bass fishing is a game of seek an find, search baits are just a tool and the one who chooses the right tool and the right area wins.
