“In prespawn, a lot of fish, especially the females, key on crawfish if they can; so if you get on a jig bite, youâre going to catch bigger fish. Iâm going to either go with black and blue, black and brown or green and brown.” Like most pros, black and blue is a go-to color for Reese. Here’s a jig ideal for flipping and pitching.
Lucky Craft Flash Pointer 115
“The 115 deadsticks better than any other jerkbait Iâve seen. It sits nose down in that colder prespawn water and looks more like a dying shad.”
Remember these from your youth? Well, Skeet Reese says you need to go get some more for tough conditions and make a split shot rig with ’em.
“Iâm going to give you a finesse deal in case itâs high pressure, blue birds skies, no clouds and no wind. In that situation, Iâll go with a split shot rig with a 6â Havoc Bottom Hopper.”
“On a clear lake, I like to fish the Sick Fish rigged weedless style on a Trokar TK170 Swimbait Hook. You can fish it in deep water or shallow water but the whole key to that bait is slow rolling it.”
Lucky Craft LV500
“Iâll target prespawn bass with the LV500 anytime Iâm on a lake with a lot of grass. If itâs a lake with pre-emergent grass, thatâs an ideal situation.”
