Bass fish bait11/18/2023 ![]() The Pro: Fred Roumbanis, Arkansas-based Major League Fishing Angler Fred Roumbanis’ early Spring bass lure: Optimum Baits BoomBoom Swimbait The bites will all come as the bait slowly falls on a tight line. Cast the bait, let it sink to the bottom, and slowly yo-yo it back. How Duckett fishes it: I never just cast and retrieve a Trap in the late winter or early spring. I simply keep my line tight and work the rod from the 10 o’clock position to the 12 o’clock position, so the trap goes up and down. One of my favorite ways to fish it is called the yo-yo retrieve. How Mosley fishes it: I throw it around grass, rocks, on flats, and through ditches and depressions. Why it’s Duckett’s favorite: A Trap is extremely effective in cold water I can cover tons of water quickly, and I can use it from 2 feet to 8 feet. Why it’s Mosley’s favorite: A Rat-L-Trap works year round but really shines during the pre-spawn when fish are getting ready to move on to the beds. The Pros: Brock Mosley, Mississippi-based Bassmaster Elite Series Angler, and Boyd Duckett, Alabama-based Major League Fishing Angler Skylar Hamilton’s early Spring bass lure: Googan Baits Bandito Bug From early spring into the middle of spring, the best place to throw a spinnerbait 90 percent of the time is to cover near spawning pockets or bays where the fish are coming to you to begin their spawning process. I use in an ARK Rods Invoker Pro 7′3 Mag Medium Heavy that allows me to make precise casts with enough tip but also plenty of backbone to get the fish out of any type of cover. I like to use a LEWS Custom Pro 6.8:1 reel, which allows me to slow my retrieve down or speed it up. How he fishes it: This time of year, I just about always want to be throwing a spinnerbait near some type of structure on the bank, whether it’s rocks, wood, or grass-whatever is available for a largemouth to pull up onto before going to spawn. ![]() ![]() If I want to fish it in a foot of water I can if I want to fish it in 8 feet of water I can. Why it’s his favorite: I like a Spinnerbait during this time of year because it allows me to fish around almost any type of cover at a variety of depth ranges. ![]() The Pro: Wes Logan, Alabama-based Bassmaster Elite Series Angler ![]()
