What do you fish when faced with cool, low visibility water, especially in the pre-spawn?
Lipless crank?
Chatterbait?
Maybe but more often that not a spinnerbait with a colored kicker blade is the bait of choice!
Take a moment and watch the video to see why bass pro Ott Defoe thinks the spinnerbait is the best bait for cool, dirty water conditions...
One of the best baits for springtime bass fishing is undoubtedly the spinnerbait. With bass moving shallow and seeking cover as ambush spots for cruising bait, the weedless nature of a spinnerbait, combined with the ability to fish it from the top to bottom of the water column make it the perfect springtime bass bait.
Bass pro Jason Christie is a well known spinnerbait expert that loves chunkin' the old spinner for shallow water, springtime bass.
Take a few moments and watch Christie's on the water springtime spinnerbait clinic, you'll be glad you did!
Christie is also a pro for Booyah Baits and recently helped them design the new Covert spinnerbait series in a variety of fish catching spinnerbait configurations to match a wide variety of water clarity and temp conditions.
They also provide a great interactive graphic designed to identify the best for specific water conditions which can be accessed via the following link:
