Jigs
Jigs work well for white bass since they can be cast a long distance and can cover the water column from top to bottom. Try using a white bucktail jig or a jig tipped with a white curly-tail grub.
Spoons
Casting spoons, such as the Little Cleo, are a favorite lure for white bass. These compact lures enable the angler to cover a great deal of water and mimic baitfish that white bass feed on.
Crank Baits
White bass key on shad that congregate near the Oologah dam and casting shad-imitation crankbaits off the main current is a great choice.
Flies
Fly fishing anglers can also take advantage of this great fishery by casting minnow-imitating fly patterns such as Clouser Minnows. Allow the fly to sink a few feet and use swift strips to excite the white bass.
Swim Baits
Small swim baits, like Storm's Wild Eye Swim Shad, are a great shad imitation that white bass strike with a vengeance. Cast these plastic lures into the feeding white bass and use a quick retrieve.
