Big Spinner Bait and Swim Jigs: Fall Bass on Shallow Weed Flats

Join Casey Ehlert with Bass Brawl Outdoors as he tackles shallow fall flats with dying weed clumps after a 10-12 degree water temp drop. Starting with a big spinner bait—black with copper Indiana blades and a 5-inch grub on 40-pound braid—he lands fish slow-rolling in 5-6 feet. When bites taper off, he switches to a subtle Grassmaster swim jig with an Assault Bug, swimming it over thinned-out weeds for reaction bites from quality bass. The tail action proves perfect in colder water, and Raptors lock him in place for multiple big fish. See how a small change turns the day around!
