• Design:
  • Unlike traditional crank baits, they lack a diving lip, resulting in a tighter wobble and vibration.
  • Featuring a flat-sided design and rattles, creating noise and attracting fish.
  • Sinking
• Key Features:
  • Vibration: The strong vibrations attract fish in various water conditions.
  • Sound: Rattles enhance the lure's ability to draw strikes, especially in murky water.
  • Versatility: They can be fished at various depths and in different retrieves. Backwoods Micro can be used for ice fishing. 

Techniques and Retrieves:

• Straight Retrieve:
  • This is the simplest method. Cast and reel the lure back at a steady pace.
  • Vary the speed to find what the fish prefer.
• Yo-Yoing:
  • Cast, let the lure sink to the bottom, then lift your rod tip, reel in slack, and let it fall again.
  • This technique is effective when fish are near the bottom.
• Ripping:
  • Cast, let the lure sink, then sharply jerk the rod tip to rip the lure through vegetation.
  • This triggers reaction strikes from fish hiding in cover.
• Varying Depth:
  • Because they sink, you can control the depth by counting down after casting before beginning your retrieve.
  • This is very helpful to target fish at specific depths.
• Contact with Structure:
  • Bumping the lure into structure like rocks, wood, or grass can trigger strikes.

Where and When to Use Them:

• Grass Beds: Excellent for fishing around submerged vegetation.
• Shallow Flats: They work well in shallow areas where fish are feeding.
• Varying Seasons:
  • Spring: Effective during pre-spawn and spawn.
  • Summer: Good for fishing around grass beds.
  • Fall: Excellent for covering water quickly.
  • Winter: Can be used with a lift-fall retrieve.
• Water Clarity:
  • They excel in both clear and murky water, with rattles being particularly effective in stained or muddy conditions.

Key Tips:

• Experiment with different retrieves and speeds to find what works best.
• Pay attention to where you get bites and focus on those areas.
• Be prepared for strikes when the lure is falling.
• Vary the sizes and colors of your lipless crankbaits.

By understanding these techniques and tips, you can effectively use Backwoods Micro to catch more fish.
