Thoughts on Fishing the Wiggle Wart

There are numerous crankbaits on the market today; some meant to fish shallow, others deep; some meant to be fished in cold water, others when temps are soaring…

One “old time” crankbait model was created to fish under a variety of conditions but really shines during the cool-water period when bass are keying on crayfish… It’s definitely a favorite bait of mine during that time of year!

The crankbait I’m talking about…

Fishing the Buzzing Frog
