    I'm gonna give up some juice on fishing a lipless in the pre-spawn and spring: the point of fishing a red crank is to mimic a craw as closely as possible. Try retrieving it like a real craw - Pop it up, like a craw popping up from the bottom, give about 3-4 quick cranks, and then let it drop back down and let it rest 3-5 seconds before doing it again. This works amazingly well, especially for red lipless cranks.

      I don’t give up any juice to people who aren’t serious about wanting to learn. If people are serious about fishing they’re watching this channel. That technique is spot on and it’s not a secret that hasn’t been talked about before for anyone who wants to research and learn it. 👍

      I hate to hear that! I did not mention a lure retriever in this video, which I need too. My recent trip this last Saturday, we were catching bass out of standing timber with the lipless crankbait. They got hung up several times, and my lure retriever came through and I did not lose one luckily. The two biggest fish in this recent trip came off of the lipless. Thank you for watching and good luck to you! - Jimi

    I love fishing lipless cranks….I have caught fish on all 3 of those retrieves you explained…most of my fishing is in vegetation with soft bottom. My two most effective lipless are the spro aruku Shad and a Jackall TN70 one knocker. Those two lipless baits can be yo-yo’d or pumped vigorously without the bait tumbling over itself and fouling your hooks on your line.

    I am without question the angler that despises it. Tried it over 50 times on all bodies of water last year and had zero success. But after watching this, I might just have to tie it back on and give these techniques a try for a couple of casts. Then I’ll eventually go back to my swim jig or crankbait. LOL

    Techniques are almost limitless because lipless are incredibly versatile. I struggled for years with jigs and lipless cranks and didn’t use them for years because of it. I decided to pick them back up a few years ago and man did I figure them out and have caught some absolute pigs. The lipless crushes year round but especially the pre spawn for me. Fun fact I’ve never even had one single bite on red, I’ll go back through the same area with a shad patten and whack em…

    I was on a pre spawn rattle bait bite on a flat in only like 3’ of water in the back of a cove. They were choking baits yo yo’d in that 3’ water column. Sure seemed to me my 3/4 oz red eye shad actually fell slower thru that 3’ than my 1/2 oz red eye shad did.
    Have you ever noticed this before? I’d always just assumed that heavier meant a faster fall. That may not actually be the case with a Red Eye shad in the conditions I mentioned.

      That is interesting. I have been told about the yo yo being affective in shallow water. It is something I need to give more of a shot in the right situations for sure! Last year on a lowland reservoir lake, the sweep retrieve was coming through on a 2-3 ft flat next to a ditch that was 3-4 ft. Water temps were in the low 40's. - Jimi

    I was fishing with a lipless crankbait one time and my partner said "let me see that bait." He cut it off and said, "now tie on a bait that will catch one."
    I fired that partner after that trip and had 27lbs the next trip at the same lake. Thanks for the info Jimmy.

    I agree red traps work in spring but I do not think it's because of craws. I believe the bass are pre SPAWN and they hit red and loud lures out of aggression before spawn. Red plastics don't play great until summer (no noise). Just my opinion so no one flip out and call my mom names.

    • @BassFishingDeclassified
      @BassFishingDeclassified  Год назад

      From my experience fishing a lake here in Arkansas that is the closest thing to a Florida lake is to follow the rising water. Find a creek / ditch that is coming in the lake. Follow it for as far as your boat will take you. Fish in these types of water will go with the rising water. Sometimes they go where we can’t get to them. When you find a true creek/ditch then it makes it easier to target them.
      Goodluck - Jimi.
