After the fish have seen a few baits or been caught once or twice, they will become conditioned and therefore harder to catch. In those situations, it’s time to think outside the box. Here are three baits you may not have tried when targeting bass on beds.

The original, new-classic JackHammer and subtler StealthBlade, Hite explains, lie at opposite ends of the vibration spectrum. “A lot of anglers who throw the StealthBlade for the first time expect to feel the same deep thumping vibration of the original JackHammer. But the motivation behind the StealthBlade is almost the opposite—a tighter, higher frequency vibration that plays just as powerfully to bass in cool water, clear water and in high-pressure and bluebird sky situations. It’s a little like throwing a Shad Rap, whose tight vibration produces exceptional cool water bites.

What was crazy was the worms inside the box.  It was just a plain 'ole curly tail worm that he had been pouring with a buddy.  It didn't look special, just a color that nobody locally had poured or fished before.  It was a plum colored worm with extra blue flake and it was something that our fish had never seen before.
