schooling bass

[flippinmaster]

What kind of lure do you use for schooling largemouth in current?

[Will]

Jerkbaits, both the hard jerkbaits such as a Rapala X-Rap and soft jerkbaits like a zoom super fluke. Spinnerbaits would be another good option.

I use white curly tailed grub on a lead head jig.Many different ways to work it through a school of bass.

jerkbaits and sammys

[hookset]

rat-l-traps, jerkbaits, topwater in that order

[Curado]

Definitly a Zoom super fluke.

Spinnerbait,spinnerbait,spinnerbait,rat-l-trap,oh yeah did I mention a spinnerbait.

Well I guess I should say alittle bit about the presentation.I like to bring it all the way to the surface on the retrieve and make the blade flip over on the surface then kill it for just a split second then repeat.

schooling bass = rattletrap

I've never seen schooling bass personally, but i watch either Shaw or Hank thro C-rigged lizardsright past them and real them over the top.  Just another idea.

In clear water I like to use a jerkbait or swim a jig (grub is a great bait too). In stained water I like to use a spinnerbait or crankbait.

ratl trap and a husky jerk are the 2 baits i favor if im luck enough to hit some schooloing bass.  its iller action if youre in on it!

Just about EVERYTHING works on schooling bass. Especially once they get into a frenzy and start blasting the top.  When that happens, I like to throw my topwater lures, simply because it's such an easy hit and it's fun to watch.

I'm with GobbleDog, anything with a hook.

Since you never know exactly where or when they are going to appear and it seems that they're always just a little too far away, something heavy and/ or aerodynamic comes in handy. Something like a 1/2 oz BPS Strata Spoon, narrow body, high density blade is ideal. They'll just about hit anything if you can get it there.

Another advantage of this style bait is that you can sink it quickly and pick up some fish even if they go deep. A disadvantage is that if it actully reaches the bottom, you may not get it back. If you dedicate a rod so that you are prepared, make it heavy equipment with stout line.

Exactly. I normally use a Zara puppy for most topwater fishing, but when they're schooling up, I tie on the Zara Spook because I can cast it a mile.
