5 Crucial Tips for Fall Squarebill Crankbait Bass Fishing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2020
- Spencer Shuffield dives deep into the subject of when, where, and how to catch fall bass using squarebill crankbaits in this extremely insightful and informative video (product links below). Spencer starts by stating that squarebills should be top-of-mind if you're fishing shallow and around cover (especially hard cover). Rapid declines in water temperatures are common during the fall months and severely affect shallow bass. Unlike most moving baits, squarebills allow you to drastically SLOW DOWN your retrieve, all the while making constant contact with cover and triggering reaction strikes.

Shuffield's Top 5 Tips for Dialing in the Fall Sqarebill Bite:
1. Slow down. If water temps have experienced a rapid decline, bass attitude has likely shifted negative too. This is a prime situation to slow down your lure retrieve speed while making continual contact with the cover. A squarebill lets you do that. A lipless crankbait does not.
2. Target the far backs of pockets, creeks, or ditches. It's common for fall bass to push baitfish in these areas, which are also laden with cover. A squarebill is the tool of choice for covering water in snag-infested areas.
3. Fish channel swing banks. Both main river channel and creek channel swings are prime locations for squarebilll cranking as bass transition toward their final wintering locations. These areas are often composed of rock or a mixture of rock and wood.
4. Shallow flat drops. Shuffield's favorite squarebill spots are the edges where flats meet the first drop-off, as seen in this video. These are perfect fall transition locations and the last place bass stop before heading out to the river channel. These aren't obvious locations to the naked eye, so receive less angling pressure. Find these spots by studying map contours then scanning the edges for isolated wood cover.
5. Choose a forgiving reel and rod setup. Shuffield stresses the need to slow down, so advises using a casting reel with a 6.3:1 gear ratio. Pair it on a moderate power rod with a parabolic action to "give" the bass time to get the bait in their mouth and reduce tearing off skin-hooked bass. Choose a line diameter that helps you dial in the bait's running depth while providing enough horsepower to extract them from the cover.

He’s puttin spa city back on the map. Fishin machine good luck and good job this year spencer. RIPNLIPZ
Spencers a great guy! Fished against him quite a bit in Arkansas and hes a great fisherman and an even better person!
Thanks for the comment Justin, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Spencer. Not everyone is so forthcoming with quality info that helps all anglers become better.
I love all these “Fall” fishing tip videos I’m seeing in November.
November is squarely fall and this was filmed a week ago in Arkansas. Pretty awesome free content if you're into crankbait fishing fall bass.
It’s Fall til mid December. I live up north and these tips are all applicable.
It was 80 degrees last week where I'm at in North Carolina
@@Wired2Fish some people will always have something to complain about.
Good stuff Spencer! 👊🏼💯
KVD 1.5 sexy shad square bill! My top producing crank all year. Caught 43 bass in a hr and 15 minutes. On Mother's day 2020. It was well over 43. Didn't start counting till after the Flurry started for a while. I caught so many bass. It wore me out! Sat for 1/2 hr. Reflecting on what a great day of fishing it was. Right bait at the right time. Shawn.
Man,I Like this dude!!I got the same frontal,muddy water,cold weather conditions here & was throwin that color this morning b4 work,but dang it when you only got an hour to fish its not easy to get a dang pattern goin'.Seasonal transitions are tough on me-water temps about 7 degrees colder here.Gr8 Vid!!(as always with W2F!!
Right on Brian. So happy to have Spencer on the site. We really appreciated his thorough content, really spared nothing. Thanks for sharing your situation.
Thank you for the great info!!
You are so welcome Mike. Spencer is a content machine and not scared to get after it in marginal conditions.
I love a good square bill
Good luck Spencer I use to pull for your father hope you do good brother
Thank you!
What hes trying to say is 1st find the fish on your electronics then work the bait in different ways until something works
What lake are you on? I'm here on Greers Ferry and new to the area. There is so much diversity on this lake and I'm struggling with locating fish. I'm sure it has to do with my being a novice with electronics and not knowing where to begin my search.
This particular day was filmed on lake Nimrod.
What are some good baits to throw at offshore hydrilla besides chatterbaits , swim n wormsand lipless cranks? It’s Florida rn and they are stacked in hydrilla but sometimes they are hard to get to bite and don’t know what to throw at them
Might want to try flipping the edges of it with a Texas rig or big jig. A hardcore ninja glider will work great too if there’s not a ton of it broke loose and floating.
@@spencershuffieldfishing2158 Okay thank you! It means a lot that you replied to me lol. Watched you on Flw live a few times and you really know how to catch them
Jace Akers no problem. Thank you! I get lucky and trick one from time to time!
What's the gear ratio for your real I a 6:1.1 don't know if that enough
Hi David, a 6.1:1 is an excellent cranking reel in general and especially for the cold water period. Here's a video that discusses this a bit more: th-cam.com/video/xtSgcBBNtwg/w-d-xo.html
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Man Late fall they can be spread out so much so you need to cover that water. Square bill will do that for sure.
Damn time to bring the squarebill back out since I barely just put them away.
We hear ya, has us contemplating doing the same.
A 7' heavy for squarebills??
That would work as long as it has a soft tip
@@jaceakers6391 Sure, but still seems like overkill..unless you're throwing magnum squarebills.
The Phenix X-10 composite casting rod he is using is a 7' MedHvy. Had been mislabeled. Thanks-
@@Twangtown7 agreed
@@Wired2Fish Ah, makes more sense...
