Questions & Answers
Straight answers from the Squad on the Wake Banger.
What is the Googan Squad Wake Banger?
The Wake Banger is a wake bait built from the popular Banger squarebill. It runs just under the surface (0-1 ft) and pushes an aggressive, turbulent wake with a wide wobble and loud rattle that big bass can't ignore. It's 2 3/8" and 7/16 oz with #4 Mustad Triple Grip hooks. Each pack includes one bait.
How do you fish a wake bait?
Cast it out and reel slowly with your rod tip up, just fast enough to keep the bait wobbling right under the surface and pushing a V-shaped wake. Run it past wood, rocks and other shallow cover. Bass often swirl before eating, so wait until you feel the weight before setting the hook.
What's the difference between the Wake Banger and the Banger?
The Banger is a squarebill crankbait that dives 1-6 ft and bangs into shallow cover. The Wake Banger has the same wide wobble and loud rattle, but stays right under the surface (0-1 ft) and pushes a wake, so it's a topwater-style option for when bass are looking up.
What are the best Wake Banger colors?
Shad colors like Sexy Shad, Native Shad, Citrus Shad, Mondo Shad and Shotgun Shad imitate baitfish, and Ghost Gill is a subtle choice for clear water. Chartreuse Blue Back, Chartreuse Black Back and Sriracha Craw stand out in stained water. Night Club gives a dark silhouette in low light.
When is the best time to fish a wake bait?
Wake baits shine in low light at dawn, dusk and on cloudy days, and on calm summer and fall evenings when bass are looking up. Fish the Wake Banger in the shallows, around wood and over rocks.
How fast will my order ship?
Orders typically ship within 1–3 business days (excluding weekends and holidays), mainly via USPS, and you'll get a tracking email as soon as yours is on the way. U.S. orders over $99 ship free, and returns are free within 45 days.
