Fish it on light line and swim or twitch the bait over the flat. When - Spring through fall when water temperature is above 55 degrees. Early morning and evening hours tend to be best. Where - Over thick, shallow cover, around weedbeds and in clear or stained water. If the water is extremely clear, you can attract surface strikes from bass holding on structure more than 10 feet deep.
Heavy line floats the bait better, but is a handicap when longer casts are needed.
Both lures are worked similarly. Point the rod tip down and snap the line while turning the reel handle enough to take up some of the slack. Good for heavily pressured bass, during cold fronts and in cold, clear water. Presentations - The tantalizing spiral or flutter of a falling grub or tube bait in translucent baitfish colors resembles an injured minnow. However, fish these baits in brown and green colors along the bottom and you're imitating a crawfish.
