Spring has sprung! Weather's warming up and so are the bass. What's your favorite lure to catch bass in the Spring?
On average, your heart beats 100,000 times a day. One day, one of those heartbeats will be your last. Then what?

A red Rat-L-Trap or Strike King red eye shad in a shad color. If, they do not hit that, I will throw a Ned Rig. If they do not hit that, I throw my rod/reel in the water and go home.

My favorite is a Wacky Worm Rig shallow!
I've had good luck with Smithwick gold Rogues, Super Flukes, Tx rig lizards and wacky rig Trick worms shallow. If a little deeper, I fish Carolina Rig Lizards or Brush Hogs, Chatterbaits, or traps.

I like fishing a C'rig in shallow water with grass and usually have it rigged with a Zoom Green Pumpkin / Chartreuse lizard.
