Lipless Jerkbait: Lunkerhunt Black BLB FFS Minnow When you think of the best lipless baits, I immediately think of Rat-L-Trap style bass lures

In Florida and select other locales, floating vegetation, like pennywort and hyacinths, forms mats dense enough for alligators to walk on, requiring some serious muscle to get a bait to the bass waiting below

It's also important to chum the area you are fishing - the oils and small pieces of bait will draw in fish from the surrounding area, and hopefully, get a feeding frenzy going
