HMKL Wake Jordan 115 Floating

Designed to imitate struggling forage near the surface, a wakebait imitates anything on the menu from bluegills, baitfish, rats, and lizards when opportunistic bass move shallow looking for an easy meal. The wide-wobbling action of a wakebait creates an aggressive surface disturbance that incites heart-palpitating blow-ups capable of transforming even the borderline casual angler into a fully addicted bass head! Broadly classified as any lure with a vertical bill that dives subsurface, wakebaits come in a variety of shapes and sizes from swimbaits, rodents, to compact hardbaits, so a diverse range of tackle may be required to dial in the ideal setup. In this article, we’ll cover a wide spectrum of gear to help boost your success with wake baits, offer some helpful tips and tricks, and identify areas and situations where wakebaits are most productive and outperform other topwater lures in your tackle box.
