Primary lure
Strike King Red Eyed Shad

Lipless Crankbait
In fall, bass chase shad across the flats; in stained water a bright lipless crankbait’s flash and rattle help them find it.
Backup lure
BOOYAH Blade spinnerbait
Spinnerbait
3/8 oz, white/chartreuse
A spinnerbait’s flash looks like a fleeing shad, and it comes through the cover where fall bass ambush bait.
How to fish it
Cast past cover and reel steadily, just fast enough to feel the blades thump. Bump it into stumps and branches: the deflection triggers bites.
