Fishing Old School Prop Baits

Over the last several years, plopper-styple baits dominated much of the news about fishing prop style baits for bass holding on shallow cover. Despite the focus on plopper baits, many bass anglers still rely on more traditional prop baits like the Smithwick Devil's Horse, Cotton Cordell Crazy Shad or Rapala X-Prop.

Take a moment and watch as bass pro Bob Downey explains how he fishes prop baits for shallow bass...

Although Downey states he prefers working the bait with a series of quick pops or burts followed with a dead-stick period, I've had great success on a steady retrieve at times, especially around daybreak and dusk.
