Why these fit

For shallow fall bass and topwater-style walleye/bass fishing, the strongest matches are moving baits that stay high in the water column and trigger reaction bites. KAOS Tackle Lab Rat is the most true topwater option here, with a slow wake for calm to lightly rippled water. Hand Crafted Lure Co. SquareGil 4" crankbait can be waked just under the surface and is a good shallow-cover bait. Googan Squad Bass Mafia Custom Balsa Squarebill Crankbait is a good shallow deflection bait when fish are tight to cover. For a subsurface reaction bait, Z-Man Fishing Eye Strike® ChatterBait® and Z-Man Fishing ChatterBait® Elite EVO™ cover grass edges, docks, and active fish well.

Technique notes

• Topwater/wake: Use KAOS Tackle Lab Rat on a slow, steady retrieve so it leaves a subtle wake.
• Shallow cover: Work Hand Crafted Lure Co. SquareGil 4" crankbait and Googan Squad Bass Mafia Custom Balsa Squarebill Crankbait into wood, rocks, and shallow edges so they deflect.
• Reaction retrieve: Burn-and-pause or steady retrieve Z-Man Fishing Eye Strike® ChatterBait® around grass and cover.
• Color/forage match: The bluegill-leaning squarebill is a strong pick when bass are keyed on shallow panfish rather than shad.

When to switch

Switch to a different presentation if fish are not coming up or are holding deeper:

• Use a finesse bottom bait like Z-Man Fishing ShroomZ™ Micro Finesse Jig when the bite gets tough.
• Use a swim jig like Siebert Outdoors LLC Electric Shad Swim Jig when you want a subtler moving bait.
• Use a jig like Siebert Outdoors LLC Megalodon Brush Mata Jig when you need heavier cover penetration.
