As summer heats up the bass go deep and savvy bass anglers know that ridges and humps can be a key ingredient to large schools of bass. Little differences in the structure can mean big differences in the creel and Gene Larew Lures has a line-up of big fish lures ready to tackle those schools.
Whether hopping or swimming a Texas rig or slowly and methodically Carolina dragging, Larew makes products that big fish hate and want to smash.
The HooDaddy, a creature bait with ribs and appendages is perfect for Carolina Rigging. The HooDaddy and HooDaddy Jr. are the ticket on points and rock piles.The Salty Snake is a stellar performer on a Texas rig. Eleven inches of ribbon tail action combined with a large profile makes this worm super for post spawn and summer time bass alike. The 10.5 inch Big Daddy has a little more bulk but plenty of action and the 12 inch El Grande is the perfect worm for a kicker bass. We use up to a 1/2 ounce weight, a 5/0 extra strong hook, and 15 pound fluorocarbon for this technique.
Sometimes bass on ledges can get a bit finicky and the Biffle O is the perfect bait to attract wary bass. Hopped in place, dropshotted, and drug behind a Carolina rig the Biffle O has more action than a bucket of snakes. You can also fish the Biffle O with a lead head inserted for a shakey head approach to big fish. The Biffle O Lizard is another great big fish bait. Insert a bit of styrofoam to get it to float up and they hammer it. It is a big lizard(8.5 inches) that big bass don't take kindly to. They don't just want to eat it they want to kill it!
Gene Larew produces a ton of colors, more than most other plastic companies, so they will likely have that go-to color that is your secret on your local lake. Don't forget they are all produced with salt added so when they hit they won't let go!
