The Berkley Havoc Pit Boss is an extremely effective bait when bass are shallow and cruising. Pitch it around brush and other structure and you will usually get bit. The little flappers on the bait make a lot of vibration and the bass love it. When you see bass up shallow cruising throw it out in front of them and when they start to get on it start dragging it and most times they will bite it. The Pit Boss works good when bass are on there bed as well. Click on the image to make it bigger of Adam with the Largemouth he caught on the Pit Boss.

Brandon Palanuik Won a B.A.S.S. tournamanet on Bull Shoals Lake with a Rapala DT. He was throwing the DT 16 in Mike Iaconnelis Custom Ink Blue Back Herring color. He says the DT is his confidence bait and he caught his entire 24.4 pound bag on day two with the DT. Britt Myers finished second and his key bait was a DT. It goes to show how effective the Rapala DT is.
The alabama rig has gained a lot of popularity since October 2011 when Paul Elias won a FLW Tour Open tournament on Lake Guntersville with it. His four day weight was 102 pounds. Since then everybody wants one. They are a extremely effective bait when Spotted Bass are eating shad and schooling. The bait is so effective that B.A.S.S banned them from there Elite series tournaments and in some states you can only have 2 or 3 baits on the rig. You can put swimbaits on them, grubs, or soft jerkbaits. We put Berkley Powerbait Hollow Belly swimbaits on ours or Powerbait or Gulp! Jerk Shads. You also need the right gear to throw them on because they can be tiring to throw. A baitcaster with a heavy action rod such as a 7'11 works great and 20 to 25lb Berkley Trilene XT (extra tough) line is a great outfit for the alabama rig. The Alabama Rig catches fish and when you have the right baits and the right gear with it you will catch Bass.
