Fall Brawl with Nomad Design Lipless Crankbaits
When cool nights and short days arrive, fall bass fishing kicks into overdrive. Both Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass go on a feeding frenzy, bulking up for winter. It’s “football season” that magical time when big bass are fat, fired up, and willing to chase. And one lure shines brightest when it’s time to capitalize: the lipless crankbait.
Unlike spring or summer, fall conditions level the playing field across regions. Whether you’re fishing grass flats in Florida or rocky rivers up north, everything in the ecosystem is on the move, baitfish, craws, even frogs and predators are in full pursuit. This makes the lipless crankbait the perfect choice for triggering bites fast.
Why Lipless Crankbaits Excel in Fall
-
Imitates All Kinds of Forage:
The lipless crank’s diamond-shaped body mimics shad, crawfish, or even frogs when ripped through the water. In fall, bass are less selective, they want calories, not perfection. -
Triggers Reaction Strikes:
Bass don’t have time to overthink. The tight vibration, sound, and speed of a lipless crank force a split-second decision. The Nomad Swimtrex, with its patented Autotune System, adds a deadly twist it swims naturally as it sinks. Stop your retrieve and the Swimtrex glides downward like a wounded baitfish, drawing savage strikes other lipless baits can’t match. -
Covers Water Fast:
The aerodynamic body of a lipless crank lets you cast far and cover water efficiently. In fall, bass roam open flats and deeper breaks following migrating bait. Long casts with a Swimtrex 72 let you fan-cast wide areas and quickly locate the schools.
Pro Tip:
Work the lure with a mix of fast retrieves and “yo-yo” lifts ripping it up off bottom, then pausing to let it swim back down. Hits often come on the fall.
Fall is short, but the feeding window is wide open. Grab a few Nomad Swimtrex lipless crankbaits, match the local forage colors, and get ready for that heart-stopping thump that means another fall giant just inhaled your bait.
