When should I throw a Spro Beast Master?
Hey there! It looks like you're asking about the appropriate time to throw a SPRO Beast Master. While the specific term "Beast Master" isn't mentioned in the provided video context, I can give you some general advice based on similar lures and techniques discussed.
From the context of the videos, particularly the one about jerkbaits by Brian Snowden, it seems that the timing for using specific lures can vary based on water temperature and fish behavior. For a lure like the SPRO Beast Master, which I assume is a larger, more aggressive bait, you would typically want to use it during times when bass are more active and willing to chase down bigger prey.
Key Times to Use Larger Lures like the SPRO Beast Master:
-
Spring (Pre-Spawn to Post-Spawn):
- Pre-Spawn: Bass are feeding heavily to prepare for spawning, making them more likely to strike larger baits.
- Post-Spawn: Bass are recovering from spawning and are often still aggressive and hungry.
-
Fall:
- Mid to Late Fall: Bass are feeding up for the winter, making them more likely to go after larger prey. This is also a time when weather conditions like wind and cloud cover can make big baits more effective, as mentioned in Randy Blaukat's video on giant Megabass lures.
-
Weather Conditions:
- Cloudy, Windy, and Rainy Days: These conditions can reduce visibility for bass, making them more prone to striking larger, more noticeable baits like the SPRO Beast Master.
Tips for Using Larger Lures:
- Retrieve Speed: Experiment with different retrieve speeds. Sometimes a slower, more deliberate retrieve works best, while other times a faster, more erratic retrieve can trigger strikes.
- Location: Focus on areas where bass are likely to be feeding, such as near schools of baitfish, around structure, or in deeper water where they might be suspended.
- Gear: Use a rod and reel setup that can handle the larger lure size and weight. A heavy action rod and a reel with a good drag system are recommended.
If you have more specific details about the SPRO Beast Master or if it's a different type of lure, feel free to provide more information, and I can give you more tailored advice!
Happy fishing! š£

How to choose the right jerkbait with Brian Snowden by Bassmaster ā something like the SPRO the reason why I like the SPRO is it's got a little more of a rolling action a little more subtle action so as the water temperature cools down this bait is going to be my choice and the reason why I like to use it is that it's down there a little deeper six seven feet eight feet at the most but it's got a more subtle action still go side to side but definitely not as erratic as this but it also gets deeper so as that water continues to cool those fish might suspend out over timber or move out a little bit that's when this is gonna come into play and then obviously those winter months you know not just early winter but when those fish get to maybe the the ends of points or those deeper spots you can still catch them on a jerk then that's when maybe you'll throw the deep diving version of these right and then my favorite because it works really well it's easy to cast it doesn't have a real huge bill but it gets down 11 to 13 feet is the megawatts one ten plus one lucky craft makes a nice deep diving version as well but these are more of a very slow you want to bring that bait get it down usually do that with the reel to get it down to its maximum depth then
