When fishing shallow cover for bass, the squarebill crankbait can be one of the most important lures in your tackle box for triggering strikes. Often referred to as the 4x4 of bass baits, the broad lip and buoyant nature of most squarebills make it ideal for working through and deflecting off of wood, rocks, docks and even weeds.
Take a moment and watch as MLF pro Edwin Evers explains how he uses the squarebill to pull bass from shallow cover throughout the year...
To build on one of the comments made by EE regarding retrieve speed, bass legend Rick Clunn often tells the story of Clunn's introduction to squarebill fishing by Big-O originator Mr. Fred Young during a tournament in the 1970s.
After giving a couple of his hand-carved Big-Os to RC and watching him methodically work the bait around the shallows, Young demonstrated his preferred method of squarebill fishing. Hold the rod against one arm, point the tip down and at the bait and burn the bait with a stop n go retrieve deflecting the bait off cover as much as possible. Rick says Young's fishing method still works for him today even though the squarebill itself has evolved...
