No matter the season—whether it’s spring spawn, summer heat, fall transitions, or winter slowdown—having the right baits in your tackle box can make all the difference. While bass behavior changes throughout the year, these six baits are proven performers that adapt to the conditions and keep you catching, season after season.

🎣 LIVETARGET Ultimate Frog
A must-have for topwater blowups, this frog excels in heavy vegetation and shallow water. It’s deadly in the warmer months, but also great during unseasonably warm days in spring and fall when bass move shallow.

🎣 Catch Outdoors Mach Popper
This popper calls fish up with splash and sound. It shines during early mornings and overcast days, and works any time bass are actively feeding near the surface—from spring through early fall.

🎣 Bo’s Jig Flippin' Jig
Heavy cover? No problem. This jig is built to punch into tight spots year-round. It’s especially effective around wood and docks in the fall and winter when bass are seeking shelter.

🎣 Strike King Rodent
Compact and versatile, the Rodent excels as a flipping bait or dragged on a Texas rig. It imitates bluegill and crawfish—both staple meals for bass any time of year.

🎣 Gene Larew Hammer Craw
With its natural action and profile, this bait mimics a fleeing crawfish to perfection. Fish it slow in winter or fast in spring—it works on jigs, Texas rigs, and Carolina rigs alike.

🎣 Greenfish Hammerhead Buzz Bait
Buzzbaits aren’t just for summer. This one is great for covering water quickly, especially during warming trends in spring or fall, and during low-light windows in any season.

From cold fronts to hot streaks, these baits adapt to changing conditions and help you stay ahead of the game. Keep them rigged and ready all year long—you never know when that next big bass will strike.
