Target Species: Largemouth Bass (especially trophy-sized), Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass
Pro Tip: The 6.5" size (13" stretched) is perfect for trophy bass hunting. The ribbon tail creates constant vibration even on a dead stop - try a slow drag-pause-drag retrieve to let the tail work its magic during the pauses. This larger profile helps you filter out smaller fish and target the big ones. Use heavier line (15-20 lb test) when fishing heavy cover.
Color Selection: Natural colors (green pumpkin, watermelon) work best in clear water. Use darker colors (black, junebug, purple) in stained water or low light conditions. Two-tone colors with contrasting tails can trigger more strikes.
