What Is Your Go-To Fall Bait?? 2025
Jon G reply :
Just curious what everyones go to bait was. Mine is the same as every season. The Jig haha.
Arv reply :
I almost always start with a lipless crank. I love catching them that way.
bgraham91 reply :
X2 on the lipless cranks, I love the red eye shad and l like luck craft pointers towards the end of fall
Bass Pro1 reply :
I usually like to go with a Fluke or Swimming Senko.
ww2farmer reply :
The same lures I use the rest of the year. Location the key.
dreamertino reply :
X3 on the lipless take a ratl trap and parallel the bank I have been killing them
Bankbeater reply :
This year I think it will be a spinnerbait, or a rat-l-trap.
Sam reply :
Lipless crankbaits first.
Then whatever I think will work depending on the variables that have to be taken into consideration.
CPBassFishing reply :
Swimbait- I prefer going for the big girls' attention with a natural bait rather than using a lipless crank.
Grizzn N Bassin reply :
Lipless , spinners, jigs , swimbaits , soft plastics , jerk baits when the bite is tough
Catt reply :
The same lures I fish the rest of the year, the locations change.
Lip 'em! reply :
I wish I had the amount of faith in lipless cranks as yall...I can't catch a thing on them no matter what time of the year.
Spinnerbaits, square bills, and jigs for me!

^ This. THe bass are still feeding on the same things that they've been eating for the rest of the year, they're just in different locations.

K_Mac reply :
As has been said location is the key. I also don't change too much in the fall. Probably my favorite big fish bait this time of year is a chatterbait.
Comfortably Numb reply :
I have been doing well with a suspendind squarebill lately. I cover alot of ground as the fish are starting to feed up and pretty aggressive.
aceman387 reply :
I love bottom contact fishing with a high end rod, i find it meditating. My favorite fall lure is a 5/16 oz black & blue jig with a zoom u vibe craw trailer.
Swampstud reply :
Man I really need to learn the lipless crank as I cant catch squat with em. I however love my spinnerbaits, and now jerkbaits.

olegs reply :
I mostly use for searching the lipless crank. When I find a fish I use Senko/Fat Ika or/and texas rigged worms or creature. This fall I want to learn a jig.
bigbill reply :
I haven't fished really heavy in the fall till now. So far my bomber crankbaits are working and the mepps spinner minnow. In the past fall in late November the YUM Money minnow gets there attention. I use the slow dying minnow twitch while using the yum money minnow. I twitch it and let it go any way it wants too slowly until it stops, then repeat.
Moving it slow is the key after all its dying.
Siebert Outdoors reply :
Same as the rest of the year. A jig.
das028 reply :
A jig, plain and simple. At my home lake they seem to be hitting them when I'm yo-yo'ing
bigbill reply :
Well since I have plenty of jigs now I'll have to try them too. I can't wait till it's really cold and maybe snowing to go fishing when the ice is still off. November seems to be my best time.
Master Bait'r reply :
I've had great success with Slug-gos. The 4" seems to always slay and you can maintain that profile and action with the Slug-go SS whiptails if you want something bigger without changing the action with the different profile 4.5"+ ers.
I like that I can dial in the sink with different hooks, and I can slow down the action to almost nothing if I'm working a cover area or piece of structure. You can dance that thing there for a half hour f you want and I think that becomes more important as the water cools. It seems to always work and I am never without Slug-gos in my kit!
Missourifishin reply :
I've been doing well on shallow diving cranks.
NC_Bass6 reply :
square bills, lipless, senkos, swin jigs, and a buzzbait in the morning.
Tuckahoe Joe reply :
Last season I had a lot of luck with squarebill cranks in the fall, mainly the KVD 1.5. Lately it's sure been feeling like fall, especially in the mornings and at night and I've been crushing fish with spinnerbaits.
