Wakebaits? Wide bodied crank baits that will dive up to a foot deep(if your reel is smoking). Anyone else fish these yet? If not, try one! They are basically top water lures, but you can run them just below the surface. I started fishing this style bait late last season, and started this year with them. You can cover plenty of water with these. Grass beds are my main target when I have one of these tied on. Give one a shot. They usually pay for themselves the first day out.

I will try one or two out. Can you post a link for an example?

Google it. I do not have a link on hand ready to copy. If you find it you will like it.

I got a nice one from the club as a test item. Only used it once and reviewed it. I will give it a try next outing.

Ive heard good things about them for pre-spawn fishing

I have a Storm Subwart, a few Yozuri Wake minnows, and some hadr swimbaits that get's a good wake going.

I use wakebaits all the time. I fish a lot of skinny water, and wakebaits are sometimes the only crankbait that will work.

I use wake baits all the time the work great and they are also good for other species too.

I got get my hands on a couple. Sounds like it would work pretty awesome for my main fishing holes.

I have used them on occasion, its a certain bite. use them 10 minutes its either there or not. If thats what the want they can be deadly or you may throw them all day for nothing. good bait but very selective. good luck . Bent rods to you. Scott

I just got back from bass pro shops and i picked two of them up..My boat will be out of the shop next week ( put new motor and out drive on it ) so we already have a trip set up and i'm going to toss the wake baits out.... will keep you posted how they worked out here in Ca......JOHN

Good to see this post lasted a while.
I have fished these in different waters all year, and they always produce. Some days are better than others though. Lol.

You can't beat um. I've fished the Mann's Waker since it came out and have caught some really nice fish on it - both largemouth and smallmouth. If you're fishing in the back of the boat with someone throwing a buzz bait, you'll catch the one's the buzz bait misses - guaranteed!

Great tip wmiket...I will try that for sure.

I use Manns Baby Minus I've caught quite a few bass with them working them over submerged grass and weeds and around stumps. These baits float and dive to 1 foot when retrieved.
