What Is Your Favorite Lure For Covering Water And Searching? 2025
trailer reply :
I've read a few articles of pros using a 1-2 punch approach to catching fish. 1 being a lure that they can locate the fish with, then 2 being some sort of finesse method to "clean 'em up".
What is your bait of choice to cover a lot a water before you slow down and clean them up?
J Francho reply :
Depends on the temps, depth, and cover. Traps, diving cranks (all depths), spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and topwater walk the dog are great tools.

Find them with a crankbait, clean up with a jig.

Spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, swimjigs, frogs, and lipless cranks for searching.
Jigs, Senkos, and various finesse plastics as a follow-up.
lmbfisherman reply :
Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits is what I did last season. This season I'm going to expand and use a crankbait more often.

Grubs are what I use to start with instead of the top water during the cooler months here. Then I go back over the area slow with a t-rigged creature.

Really?? I pegged you for a crankbait guy 
I tend to use a lot of swim jigs, spinnerbaits, traps, and square bills.
Bankbeater reply :
Swimming a jig
papajoe222 reply :
I like a spinnerbait when it comes to covering a lot of water as I can fish it most anywhere in the water column without switching baits. If I know there are fish in the area and approximately what depth they're holding, I'll opt for a crank. Then I'll mop up with a jig or T rigged worm.
