3" inch curly tailed grubs on a lead head in colors matching bait fish. Cast them up and across and reel them in at different speeds until you find the speed the bass like. You'll knock em dead!

Match your lure to the main forage bait in the creek. Curly tails are a proven winner, but I also like swimbaits and crankbaits.

Curlytails or try a natural colored rattle trap (1/4 or 1/8 oz) and good luck.

In the rivers and creeks where I am at, a Mepps spinner works well

I've had ok luck with curlytails but i have two go-to lure's ahead of them. Both are soft plastics. The first is a 2 or 3 inch green pumpkin seed crawfish hooked from the tail. It makes it very realistic. The second is 2 or 3 inch green pumpkin seed hellgrimite. You can tinker with the colors some but I recommend dark greens, browns and blacks. They tend to be a more natural presentation.

well i either us a small daredevil or a minnow. A small topwater will do u fine

Over the past few years, I have had my luck fishing for bass in rivers with a Heddon Clatter Tadpolly. It is a shallow running lure. You will to do an internet search to find one. Heddon does not make them anymore. That's too bad. Steelhead fisherman like the tadpolly as well.
