An excellent baitfish imitation for predatory species like Largemouth Bass and Bowfin, effective in varying water conditions as they become more active in spring.
Buy at AmazonDeer Hair Popper
A general insect/surface prey imitation, excellent for sunfish and bluegill during warm summer mornings and evenings.
Buy at AmazonGurgler (Bass)
As spring progresses and water temperatures rise, topwater activity for bass and panfish increases, making this a good attractor, especially during early mornings and late afternoons.
Damsel Nymph (Olive)
Damsel nymphs become active in late spring as they migrate towards shore to hatch. This olive pattern is effective when stripped slowly along weed beds and can attract panfish and other opportunistic feeders.
Scud (Pink/Orange)
Freshwater shrimp (scuds) are a consistent food source in Newnan's Lake, especially in areas with aquatic vegetation. A pink or orange Scud can be very effective in early spring for panfish and bass.
