I’m from So Cal. For me, a lipless comes into play in the dead of winter! Our lakes are severely mismanaged, over pressured, and I surf fish Spring and Fall , and surf and fish in Mexico during the summer… I yo yo a lipless along with a Damiki Vault blade bait and throw in a jerk bait and a big ole 10” swim bait!
Lipless crankbaits are my favorite reaction baits, hands down. Pick up a few different models so you have different sound and vibration characteristics and get out there, you'll get your confidence pretty quick. Very versatile lures year-round, at any depth.
I’ve been bass fishing over 50 years and I’m pretty sure I’ve caught more on lipless cranks than anything. I caught a 11-3 on a lipless and lost others bigger. I think the biggest bass I ever had on was on a lipless when wade fishing on lake Fork in early March. I never turned that bass. She straightened the hooks when I tried to keep her out of flooded trees and I had upgraded hooks on it. They were about all my dad would throw. I wish he was still throwing it.

Great info and got me fired up to start throwing one more often.
Thanks for your opinion and expert advice. Appreciate you sharing.
"It's my go-to bait as well year round"
I have zero confidence on a lipless, but I really want to change that.

Fish it in the pre spawn you'll get confidence
Lipless my favorite 😍🎣
Great video Scott, thanks for the tips.
I smash them in the pre spawn. It's definitely my favorite bait. All year long!
