“My favorite sight fishing bait is a Flappinâ Crawz made by Z-Man. The Crawz are real buoyant so when you stop the bait, it stands up and that creates a look that the fish do not see often. Pearl white is my go-to.”
“My second favorite is another Flappinâ Crawz in a different color. I use different colors based on the water color. I like a color that I can see good. Green pumpkin or black-and-blue flake show up real well on a bright sandy white bottom.”
“Next would be a Z-Man Zinkerz. You can just blind cast that bait out ahead of you while youâre going down the bank looking. Youâll catch fish that would spook if you tried to get close enough to see them.”
“When fishing around grass Iâll go with a Texas rigged Z-Man FattyZ with a 3/8 Reins Tungsten weight, possibly heavier. That way I can target a bed in those grassy conditions and get the bait down in the bed instead of penduluming back and missing the bed.”
“A good way to find fish that are bedding too deep to see them is with a swimbait. Those fish will come up and show themselves. You may never catch one on the swimbait but the fish will show themselves and then you can come back and catch them on something else. I like a Z-Man Paddlerz.”
