When it comes to bass fishing, one of the most challening situations is triggering strikes from elusive bass hiding in heavy cover. Luckily, there's a bait that can help you tackle this challenge head-on: the squarebill crankbait.
These versatile lures are specifically designed to navigate vegetation, rocks, docks submerged timber, and other types of heavy cover, making them an indispensable tool for catching big bass in hazard-filled environments.
Squarebill crankbaits are distinguished by their short, square-shaped lip in front. This design allows them to bounce off obstacles and deflect away from snags, minimizing the chances of getting snagged in heavy cover. Additionally, the buoyancy of squarebill crankbaits enables them to float back up when they hit obstacles, making them excellent at triggering reaction strikes from bass lurking in the shadows.
Strike King bass pro Greg Hackney is definitely one of the better anglers when it comes to fishing heavy cover shallow water and he loves using squarebills to draw bass from their hiding spots in cover like flooded trees.
Take a few moments and watch as he explains his approach in selecting the right set-up, squarebill and presentation technique when fishing squarebills around heavy cover:
