When to switch

Switch away from topwater if fish won’t rise, the wind is too strong to keep the bait working cleanly, or you’re getting follows without strikes. In those cases, a subsurface crankbait, jerkbait, or soft plastic may be better. If bass want more noise, move from a walker to a chugger or prop bait. If you need a more subtle presentation, go to the walking bait.
