How to fish it?

Lipless crankbaits and grass go together like eggs and bacon, and you can bet you can catch some pigs!

While it may seem counterintuitive to throw bait with two exposed treble hooks around grass, you actually want to “hang” your bait in the vegetation.

Try retrieving your bait by just barely ticking the tops of the grass.

When you do feel your bait get “hung,” sharply pop your rod upwards once or twice.

This often triggers the bass into biting.

You can also fish lipless cranks in cooler, deeper waters and use a yo-yo-ing technique.

Lift your rod tip from a 9 o’clock to 11 o’clock position, and let your bait fall on a semi-slack line.

This retrieve closely resembles a dying shad or a fleeing crawfish, and the subtle wobble followed by a fall will catch lethargic bass.
