Baby Burrito
The Baby Burrito from Bull Shad Swimbaits offers a small-profile baitfish presentation for spotted bass, smallmouth, and largemouth. Bring it along for a pond session, work it around lake cover, or use it when targeting fish with forward-facing sonar.
If you like fishing a spinnerbait or bladed jig, start with a similar retrieve and similar locations. A steady swim gives you a starting point, with changes in speed and short pauses letting you adjust the presentation as you move between spots. Choose your preferred color from the available options.
How to Fish It
Start with a short cast so you can watch the bait and find a retrieve speed that keeps it swimming cleanly. Cast along cover edges and through open lanes, adjusting your rod position and reel speed to follow the contour without dragging the bait into obstructions.
For forward-facing sonar presentations, track the bait relative to the fish and adjust your retrieve as needed. On ponds and smaller waters, work a stretch with a steady retrieve first, then try brief pauses or speed changes on another pass.
Match your rod, line, and terminal tackle to the bait in hand. Inspect the rigging before casting, and check the bait and line after a fish or contact with cover.
Care
Let the bait dry before putting it away, and store it without bending or compressing its shape. Check for damage before each outing. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and dry thoroughly before storage.
