**Battle Shad Prom Queen: Late Fall Bass Tactics**

The Prom Queen line is a big, realistic swimbait that excels in drawing bites from bass in late fall. Sizes like 6.0, 7.5, and 9.0 inches give you options for pressure, water depth, and season dynamics. Here's how to fish it right now:

- **Gear & rigging**: Use a weighted swimbait jig head or a swimbait hook to keep the tail kicking. For 6–7.5 inch promises a 1/4–1/2 oz head; for the 9 inch version, bump to 1/2–1 oz depending on depth.
- **Retrieve tips**: Start slow with a continuous reel, then quick bursts or pauses to imitate a wounded baitfish. In late fall, bass can suspend; try a slow roll along structure edges and pause near cover.
- **Color & water**: In cooler water (late fall), natural shad, bone, and pearl/chartreuse backs work well. If water is clear, go subtle; in stained water, brighter tones can help.
- **Where to throw**: Along weed edges, creek channels, points, and submerged structure where bass tend to hold as temps drop.

- *Pro tip*: Late fall water is cooler and bass are more lethargic. Shorter, deeper pauses and a slower cadence can spark bites when the fish aren’t chasing aggressively. Keep a light rod, a confident wrist, and be ready to switch colors if you’re not getting hits after a couple of passes.

Tight lines and go get ’em!
