Arkansas anglers have waked Cotton Cordell Red Fins for years and even modified baits to maximize their waking effectiveness. The wake bait phenomenon is a blend of new and déjà vu. Even my wife -a twice-a-year angler - tapped their magic, catching a 4-pound largemouth on her second cast on Table Rock Lake. Over five days, they cast their spell on largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass on three different lakes. That trip marked my epiphany - the week I woke to wake baits. Minutes later, he jaw lifted 4-plus pounds of smallmouth bass. Our trance ended abruptly when the bait disappeared in a boil and Wiegmann's bronzeback went airborne. "It's the 'V,'" said Arkansas guide Brad Wiegmann, rod tip high, steadily cranking, watching the wobbling baitfish imitation leave a broad victory symbol in its wake on Beaver Lake.
