Bass fishing with a tiny crankbait especially when creek fishing from the bank can be a challenge. I’m fishing in the back of a creek today hoping to catch a largemouth bass using shad. The lure of choice today is a Cotton Cordell CC Shad and its getting some attention. I miss a few bass of course and I notice other fish following the lure. I finally get a bass hooked and it gets hung in the branches by the bank.
Thankfully I was able to land it. I think I’m going to replace the hooks on this crankbait because I really like the attention it gets. Check it out in the video below.
