So...what is your lure of choice for when the weather warms up and the bass are ready to feed?

When they are shallow it's hard to beat a square-billed crankbait.

senko

-matt-

Like pre-spawn warm? 

As soon as the water gets into the mid-high 40's, I'll be throwing Pointer 100's and suspending / slow float flatsided cranks.

If the water is dingy I'll definitely have a jig on.   

In ideal conditions, give me a Zara Spook any day of the week!!

If nothing works. my watermelon senko usually work...

Zoom Super Fluke.

Speed Trap in Crystal Craw if cover allows. Yum Dinger after that.

A 1/8th oz Black Jighead with a Yellow Eye, dressed with either a Smoke/Fleck or Pumpkinseed grub.

senko worm or shad shape worm

Pitching a 7" ribbiontailed worm in red shad color, in structure.

Shad colored skirt on double willow spinnerbait

Depends on what I'm fishing for. If LM bass is my target, then a 6" Senko. If SM, 4" Roboworm.

I feel comfortable with any crankbait on the market as long as it says 'Norman' on the package.

X2 or swimming a jig

Zoom Trick Tail worm,T-rigged.As for colors,watermelon/chart.,"Big Texan",or black

cranks

1) Senko, watermelon with red and black flake;

2) Bomber Square A in Oxbow Bream.

A jig with either a paca, smallie beaver, or sweet beaver trailer. Color depends on the clairty of the water. Brown and black in 40+ degree is what I prefer.

I don't fish spinner baits any more. Cranks are more efficient at covering water, and I have a combo, and assortment, but not really my go-to...
