Stick baits, or spook style baits have been all the rage for the past several years but we are now seeing an older design resurface.
That of the old crazy crawler whose action was based on a cupped front lip that made the bait gurgle as it swam across the surface.
We’ve been fishing the Walking Boss II from Livingston Lures for the past few months which takes that old action but refines it for today.
The Walking Boss II is 4-5/8 in length with a weight of 15/16oz. This lure comes with a three hook configuration with the rear hook being dressed. The lip on the front of the bait is a clear plastic that when retrieved gives the bait its gurgling action. It also has a hinged rear segment that accentuates its side to side waggle.
During the post-spawn, a lot of us like to rely of poppers as one of our main baits to target those bass who are guarding fry not to mention the females who are now recovering and feeding heavily.
With the water starting to warm, we wanted to spotlight one more jerkbait before we put them away in favor of other lures.
