When is the season for this presentation?
Short answer
Bassmaster describes midlevel strolling as most effective in the heat of summer and again in late fall and early winter, when more bass suspend in clear water. That gives two buying peaks in a year rather than one.
In detail
Working back from the shelf date, an existing-mould order placed about seven to nine weeks ahead lands in time, and a new colourway or mould about ten to fourteen weeks ahead. Confirm in the quarter before the peak, when tackle capacity is tightest.
