Well, always a jig, but soft swimbaits and hard jerkbaits are red hot!

A jig is always a good choice, but when the fall bite really turns on a chatterbait is my favorite. As a friend says, "Be careful, you might get your arm broke."

weightless fluke.

my favorite fall bait is probably a spoon. everyone's preference is going to be influenced by the particular bodies of water they fish. i fish table rock which is deep and clear with lots of threadfin shad. the majority of the bass begin to herd up the shad into big schools in the fall, and flutter and jigging spoons are very hard to beat. i know there are lots of guys that will fish shallow here in the fall, but i am not really into covering miles of bank for a few bites. i am more into parking on a good school and loading the boat.

Northstar Hair jigs, and Northstar spinnerbaits. When the water starts to cool more, I go to jerkbaits and blades along with the hair jig.

Lake Fork Magic Shad in the magic shad color. Swim jigs are never a bad idea, and square bills and spinnerbaits usually produce. Don't vote out some shad and baby bass senkos as well!

#1, White jig/Kalins grub #2 Shallow running crank.

I like to swim that jig combo and give it a pop of the rod tip now and the. Both the Bandit and KVD cranks can be moved along at a pretty good clip without 'blowing out' or rolling on their sides.

The lakes around here are natural, so the creek arms and flats associated with fall shad movements are replaced with bays and slow tapering points that the bluegill and bass fry migrate to.

I won't hesitate to fish a top water prop bait, especially if I know there are active fish in the area. This seems to be the only time I can work one aggressively with decent results.

My favorite is a jig. My most productive would probably be a rat-l-trap or a 1- minus in shallow water.
