This bass hit on the Jackhammer with a Gene Larew Biffle Bug as the trailer. I turned it on its side so that it was rigged vertically. This gives the tail a lifelike look and action similar to a Bluegill, Shad, or small Crappie. I slow rolled it to keep near the bottom, with an occasional quick crank burst once in a while. The bass hit on the quick crank, thinking the Jackhammer was getting away. The natural hunting action of the Jackhammer combined with the unique action of the Biffle Bugg created a meal the bass couldn’t refuse! An added note here-Gene Larew Biffle Bugs have been added to the Yum soft plastics line under the name Scutter Bug.

Although I put shad under forage, bass are so complex in their diet. Most of the time bass eat Shad all year round with bluegill and crawfish making up a huge portion of the diet in spring time. Brush piles in 10-15ft of water are amazing early summer as bass start to move onto their summer stuff. I recommend throwing a wide variety of baits from craws to flukes. Many brush piles are found on main lake points or on flats around spawning pockets.
