One Lure Outfished Everything! (Should You Switch?)
- By: Luke Simonds
- on
I hit the flats for some wade fishing in extreme low tide conditions with Wader Dave and Insider member Philip, and things got interesting fast.
The conditions were nice given that it was a few days after a cold front pushed through. So although the water was still cold enough to require waders, it was on a warming trend so we had high confidence of getting into a fun bite.
What You’ll See in This Video:
- Wade fishing in super shallow water (muddy trek included)
- The one lure that out-fished everything else—should you switch?
- How light tackle setups make all the difference
- A wild redfish bite that had us scrambling to adjust

Not the kind of video you want to watch on a Monday morning at your desk as your work week gears up 😑 Great video, thanks for posting! I’ve been loving the tweaker lately, will need to order some new penny now.
I’m glad to hear you’re working! Try Turd Ferguson and Slam Shady as well.
