- Expert Pick #1
- GP 1 Summary:
- The Bright-Day Natural Spinnerbait Pick
- GP 1 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Double Willow • Wicked Sunfish • Nickel Kicker • Nickel Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 1 Why:
- Wicked Sunfish gives this spinnerbait a natural forage profile, while the double nickel willow blades add clean flash without making the bait overly aggressive in bright, calm conditions.
- GP 1 How:
- Fish it lower in the shallow to mid-depth range, preferably deep enough to stay out of sight. A steady retrieve works best, especially in slightly dirtier water.
- GP 1 When:
- Choose it on bright, sunny and calm days when bass are less likely to chase near the surface and you want a natural spinnerbait presentation deeper in the water column.
- GP Eyebrow:

- GP 2 Badge:
- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- The Slow-Down Cover Jig Pick
- GP 2 Details:
- Flex Cast Jig • 7/16 oz • Crawfish Orange • Silicone Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 2 Why:
- Bright, calm conditions can make bass less willing to chase, so this jig gives you a slower bottom-contact option. Crawfish Orange provides a natural forage profile for cover and open water.
- GP 2 How:
- Pitch it around cover or drag it slowly across the bottom in open water. Slow down, pause often and keep the bait in productive areas longer.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose it on bright, sunny and calm days when bass seem lethargic or reluctant to chase and a slower presentation may be the key.
- GP 3 Badge:
- Expert Pick #3
- GP 3 Summary:
- The Natural Clear-Water Jig Pick
- GP 3 Details:
- Flex Cast Jig • 7/16 oz • Green Pumpkin Blue Flash • Silicone Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 3 Why:
- This gives you the same slower bottom-contact approach as Pick #2, but Green Pumpkin Blue Flash provides a more natural profile for clearer water and more cautious fish.
- GP 3 How:
- Pitch it around cover or drag it slowly across the bottom in open water. Keep the presentation controlled and natural, with pauses around likely holding areas.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose it on bright, calm days in clearer water when bass are less active and a subtle, natural-looking jig is more likely to get a response.
- GP 4 Badge:
- Expert Pick #4
- GP 4 Summary:
- The Open-Water Finesse Jig Pick
- GP 4 Details:
- Heavy Wire Finesse Jig • 7/16 oz • Camo Stalker • Hybrid Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 4 Why:
- Camo Stalker gives this finesse jig a natural green profile that can represent crawfish or bluegill, while the 7/16 oz build works from shallow water down into deeper open-water situations.
- GP 4 How:
- Drag it along the bottom across open water, points, flats and other structure. Adjust depth as needed and use a slow, controlled retrieve to keep the bait in contact with the bottom.
- GP 4 When:
- Choose it on bright, calm days when bass are less willing to chase and you want a natural bottom-contact presentation that can be fished from shallow to deep water.
- GP 5 Badge:
- Expert Pick #5
- GP 5 Summary:
- The Brighter Natural Finesse Jig Pick
- GP 5 Details:
- Heavy Wire Finesse Jig • 7/16 oz • Skip Jack • Hybrid Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 5 Why:
- Skip Jack keeps the same natural finesse profile as Pick #4, but with a slightly brighter crawfish look that adds a little more visibility without becoming unnatural.
- GP 5 How:
- Drag it slowly along the bottom across open water, points, flats and other structure. Keep steady bottom contact and let the hybrid skirt continue moving during pauses.
- GP 5 When:
- Choose it on bright, calm days when you want a natural finesse jig with a little more color and visibility than a darker green crawfish presentation.
