Join us as we reveal the similarities between targeting bass and redfish, and how you can maximize your success on the water.

Sight Fishing Redfish: Similarities with Bass Techniques:

Flipping and pitching are staple techniques in bass fishing, and surprisingly, they can be just as effective when targeting redfish. These techniques involve presenting your bait accurately and quietly into precise locations, such as pockets in vegetation, under docks, or along submerged structure. When sight fishing for redfish, we often encounter similar scenarios where precision and stealth are key. Utilize your skills in flipping and pitching to deliver your bait in front of a cruising redfish or into tight spaces where they seek refuge. One of the main reasons sight fishing for redfish feels akin to bass fishing is the effective use of a trolling motor. Like bass, redfish are easily spooked by noise and vibrations, making the trolling motor an invaluable tool to maintain stealth and position yourself for accurate casts. Utilize the trolling motor to silently navigate the shallow flats and marshes, allowing you to get within casting range of your target without alarming the fish.

Axle Jigs

The Axle Jigs from 6th Sense Fishing Lures are versatile and deadly when targeting redfish. With their compact profile and realistic design, these jigs perfectly mimic the redfish’s natural prey. The weedless design allows you to work them through vegetation and other structures where redfish love to hide. Experiment with different colors and retrieve speeds to match the feeding behavior of the redfish in your area.

Bongo 3.7

The Bongo 3.7 is a soft plastic creature bait that has proven effective in both bass and redfish angling. Its lifelike appearance and tantalizing action make it irresistible to redfish lurking in shallow waters. The Bongo 3.7’s versatility allows for various retrieves, including slow drags, hops, and shakes, enticing redfish into biting.

Stroker Craw

The Stroker Craw is a bait designed to elicit predatory instincts from both bass and redfish. Its realistic crawfish profile and textured body produce subtle vibrations, triggering a feeding response from redfish in the area. Rig it on a jighead or as a trailer on your Axle Jig, and target areas where redfish are known to feed, such as around stumps, transitions, or sandy drop-offs. Experiment with different colors to match the forage in your specific location.

Divine Swimbait

When redfish are actively pursuing baitfish, the Divine Swimbait is an excellent choice to trigger strikes. Designed with a realistic baitfish profile and a natural swimming action, this lure can be rigged on a weighted hook or as a trailer on a jighead. Cast it to areas where redfish are actively feeding, such as along grass lines, near points, or in deeper
