Best Lure for Bass in Clear Water (Autumn, Long Range)

Autumn bass from surf beaches or rocky headlands need a long cast and confidence in clear conditions. Baitfish are often visible and bass are aggressive.

🎯 Recommended Lure Type:

Slim hard minnow OR metal lure (surface/subsurface)

βœ… Why it Works in These Conditions:

  • Mimics baitfish pushed into open water by surf or tide
  • Autumn bass hunt hard, so bold casting pays off
  • Clear water = need for realistic lures and action
  • Bigger fish often hunt further out β€” punch it far!
