Manns Baby 1 Minus

[BassCats]

How, Where, and When do you fish this lure. received two as a gift and never used them before.

[NEBassMan]

i like to throw them as soon as the morning topwater bite slows.  I love throwing them around timber and along the edge of grass/pads.  Fish slam them!

I like to fish them in the morning or evening, over submerged grass.

over submerged grass

I fish this over submerged grass also, but have had great success banging them off stumps. These are great little baits and cast a mile. Also great in rivers.

love throwing them in grass submerged about 1ft under the water. also the spring time is awesome when the bass are on the flats. i throw near any stumps, seawalls, docks and grass.

Check the lure before each cast, the hooks tend to tangle.

wherever the water is too shallow to fish any other crankbait

I love the 3/8 ounce size!

The latest BassMaster magazine has an article that focuses on shallow running, square-billed cranks like the Manns Baby -1. Pretty good article, too. I've got a few -1's that I've yet to tie on, but after reading the article I think I'm gonna have to give em a go.

Basically the article says that banging them off as much structure as possible is a great way to work them. Rip them through downed timber bangin em off branches and trunks, burn them over and through submerged grass, etc. Throw em anywhere you'd throw a spinnerbait.

Are you guys throwing the Baby -1 on baitcasters or are they small and worked best on spinning gear?

[CWB]

I fish the Baby 1- on baitcasting gear, 10-12# line. Run it parallel to shallow docks and fish it toward the bank between docks and you might pick off one or 2 moving from dock to dock looking for eats!

Over shallow grass, these are dynamite.
