March & April Bass Lure?

[Bergen Angler]

What kind of lure would you use for March & April LMB & SMB? I am thinking about using 1/4 oz black football jig with crawdad trailer or Drop shot. Spinnerbait? what do you think? suspending jerkbait?

Rattletraps are solid during pre-spawn.

Personally I go with super slow stuff on the bottom in march. Even just letting it sit. Id wait til April for the spinnerbait.

Yamamoto Flappin' Hawg--weightless or with a small amount of weight. The 4+ inch model in greens and browns, sometimes the blues and purple, too. Esp in March...

suspending jerkbaits are great, as are silver buddies,crankbaits, and chatterbaits.While using jerkbaits use the jerk, jerk, pause cadense, the bass will tell you how long of a pause they want.The hits will come as it is sitting still.

Floating or suspending minnows are a good choice. Alternate between a slow, steady retrieve and a stop-and-go retrieve and see which one works better that day.

How about spoon? or blade baits?

Suspending jerkbaits (husky jerk 10s, lc pointers or rapala x raps) rattletraps, & 1/8 oz black hairjigs fished slow on 6lb line will get it done. Jigs will also Catch big prespawn lms

Jerkbaits for sure, rattle traps & also football jigs.. ive had a lot of luck with larger profile baits this time of year.
