What is your go to bait for schooling bass?

Fluke

Topwater walking bait. 

Fluke or spinnerbait

3/4 oz red eye shad. Schools move around and I can launch that thing to wherever they go.

Spook probably...

7/8th oz Rippin' Rap.

Pretty open ended question. Depends on how they are schooling.

Fluke is pretty much a guaranteed bite for me when they are schooling...so are worms...and almost everything else. It's almost like they are just more confident in groups so when they see something they are way more likely to just go after it than to be tentative like if they were by themselves. But if I had to say one it would be a fluke. 

Alabama rig or Donkey rig, crankbaits(choose model depending on depth), spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, swimbaits, swimming jigs, spoons, topwater walkers, broken back minnows, plastic frogs and hollow body frogs, pretty much any constantly moving bait.  Schooling fish are usually feeding on smaller fish so you want to mimic that type of forage, match the hatch so to speak.

One day I was fishing with my grandpa for schooling bass and I was walking a spook and I was getting a good amount of strikes, but my grandpa was just killing it with a little inline spinner haha I eventually switched to one after he started out fishing me....

Topwater spook. Run it through a school of shad, and the bass will crush it.

On top?  Down deep?

 

Flutter spoon.  Not too many people use 'em, provides a different look.  And, it really looks like a dying baitfish fluttering to the bottom.

Bigger fish will normally be waiting under the smaller schooling fish, scrounger will get you those bigger fish.....

Super Spook Jr. no doubt about it.
