Why these fit

These are the strongest shallow-to-mid cranking options for late summer bass. Bandit 100 Series Electrocution is a shallow-diving bass crankbait built for clear to lightly stained water around rock, cover, and roaming shad. Norman Fat Boy Bama Shad and Norman Fat Boy-Wicked are both shallow-cover crankbaits that fit warm-weather bass feeding on baitfish. If fish are holding a little deeper off points or structure, Bomber Deep Long A B24A gives you a deeper-running option while still covering water.

Technique notes

Use a steady retrieve and let the bait deflect off shallow cover.
Around rock or wood, pause briefly after contact to trigger reaction bites.
For Bandit 100 Series Electrocution, target shallow structure and roaming shad in clear to lightly stained water.
For the Fat Boy baits, fish banks, shallow wood, and cover where bass are feeding up.
If you need more depth, switch to Bomber Deep Long A B24A and work points or ledges with a straight retrieve.

When to switch

Switch away from shallow crankbaits if bass are suspended deeper, buried in heavy cover, or not reacting to moving baits. In that case, a deeper diver, jig, Texas rig, or topwater may be better depending on depth and cover.
