Ill take us through a few baits that will be working here in the Southeast, and well grab a few recommendations from a couple of other anglers around the country as well

These lures are often designed with realistic legs that kick and paddle as you retrieve them across the water's surface

Lucky Crafts 1.5, Strike Kings KVD 1.5, Sixth Senses Crush X-50, Spros Hunter 65, Bill Lewis ATV 1.5, and Yo-Zuris 3DB Series 1.5 are just a few possibilities

Other shallow running baits include stickbaits from XCalibur, Smithwick, Bomber and Rapala
