Bassmaster Elite Series Pro Cole Sands and Bass University present a seminar on lipless crankbaits. Cole, who resides in Tennessee and spends over 200 days a year out bass fishing competing on the Elite Series and guiding, emphasizes the effectiveness of a lipless crankbait, especially on the Tennessee River impoundments. In the seminar, Cole discusses the advantages of using a lipless crankbait, as well as when and where to use it. With numerous lipless crankbaits (such as Rat L Traps) available in the market, Cole provides insights into the different actions, sounds, and sizes to consider when selecting one.
Color selection is highlighted as a crucial factor, with Cole breaking down the colors he uses by season. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of hook, rod, reel, and line selection, walking through his own setup to maximize landing success.
The seminar covers various techniques for retrieves and cadences, with Cole explaining when, where, and why to use different retrieves based on conditions and time of year. Cole also provides a map breakdown to identify key areas where a lipless crankbait would excel.
If you're looking to enhance your skills with lipless crankbaits or Rat L Traps, this seminar with Bassmaster Elite Series Pro Cole Sands offers a wealth of knowledge to help you improve.
