Spinnerbaits & Jigs go great together, like peanut butter & jelly. One is a great horizontal presentation, and the other a great vertical presentation. They will help you catch fish around any cover.

One key for success in bass fishing this fall is to have a range of casts at your disposal. In complex cover, you can't rely on just pitching or flipping; sometimes you need to throw a roll cast, a skip cast, or anything else to get your bait where it needs to be. Bass University's pro fishes a mix of eel grass and wood cover on a shallow flat using a spinnerbait for horizontal coverage. Pros have been catching fish and winning tournaments with spinnerbaits since Hank Parker and Jimmy Houston. They're perfect for long casts, popping through grass, and triggering bites in open habitat.

Once he's covered the area with the spinnerbait, he switches to a jig for more a vertical presentation, working tight to the pilings and deeper spots to make sure he's not missing any fish hiding down low. Pros like Denny Brauer and Tommy Biffle made names for themselves flipping jigs into heavy cover. Cleaning off every bit of grass from the bait is crucial, as even a little can reduce your chances of a bite. Switching between baits and adjusting techniques helps him maximize every spot and pull in fish from both shallow and deep cover.
