Best matches
Why these fit
These are the strongest matches if you mean working different parts of the water column with a small bait profile. Each one is built for bass feeding on baitfish and can be fished from bottom to suspended fish.
Technique notes
- For shallow to mid-depth fish, start with a weightless or lightly weighted soft jerkbait and let it dart or glide.
- For suspended fish, use a jighead, hover-style presentation, or forward-facing sonar and keep the bait moving slowly.
- For bottom-oriented fish, rig the Tiny Shad on a drop shot or Ned rig and work it with small shakes.
- If fish are pressured, use the most subtle option and pause longer between twitches.
When to switch
- Switch to a bottom bait if fish are glued to the bottom and not chasing.
- Switch to a topwater or faster moving bait if fish are actively busting bait near the surface.
- Switch to a larger profile bait if small minnow imitations are getting ignored.
- Switch to a scented or floating bait if current, surf, or neutral fish call for a slower, more natural presentation.
