Why these fit

For “shallow black,” the best fits are black or black-and-blue baits that work well in shallow water and around cover. The two Butchers Baits 5" Soft Jerkbaits and Butchers Baits 5" Black Cherry Soft Jerkbait give you a baitfish profile for shallow casting, finesse, or trailer-style use. The Meadowbrook Minnow - Black and Blue is another good shallow option when you want a subtle minnow look. If you want a bottom-contact bait, the Frugal Lures Black Jointed Head Jig and Phenix Pro Series Flipping Jig Black Living Rubber With Blue Flash are better for shallow cover and bass holding tight.

Technique notes

• For the soft jerkbaits, start weightless or on a light rig and work them with short twitches and pauses.
• Around shallow cover, try the jigs with a craw-style trailer and a slow hop or drag.
• If bass are active, fish the jerkbaits faster; if they’re pressured, slow down and let the bait sit longer.
• Black and black-blue colors are especially useful in stained water, shade, or low-light conditions.

When to switch

Switch to a craw or jig if fish are tight to rocks, wood, or grass and want a bottom meal. Switch to the minnow or jerkbait if bass are suspended, chasing bait, or ignoring a heavier presentation. If you need more depth control or casting weight, add a rigging weight instead of changing baits.
