The Tube Fishing Trick Nobody Knows! This Really Is The Deal!!

Tubes are the forgotten lure! The Tube shouldn't just be back in your arsenal, it should be front and center as we head toward Summer! We have some key tricks that we use with tubes to take them from being a great bait, to an almost magical fish producer. You don't want to miss this!

So many anglers used to catch fish with a tube,  or tube jig, but have stopped throwing it. Most never realized the bait's true potential before slowly forgetting about it. Today we're going to fix that! Matt starts with the basics of how to catch bass with tubes but it isn't long before he gives up the key that makes a tube a better bait then nearly every other finesse presentation!

Below you'll find links to all the baits, heads, and gear Matt discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors where applicable as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Bass Fishing Vacation! Big Baits vs Finesse Baits On New Lakes

We're on vacation and the fishing is on fire! We're chasing big smallmouth and they're eating swimbaits! From tiny little finesse baits to larger swimbaits, the bite is rocking! Come along for a relaxed evening on the water as we lean back on the Smallies and enjoy some fun fishing!

This may just be a fun afternoon session for Matt but pay close attention to the details he drops while fishing. He's talking about targeting bigger fish on any natural lake in the country, then opens up about how to choose the best bait for the situation, even if you don't know anything about the lake you're on. There is key information sprinkled throughout this fishing session. And let's not overlook that in the North, fishing clear water, Matt opted to throw the bigger swimbaits and it worked!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were using. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each, along with the key rods and reels they used to successfully catch these fish, even on the lightest lines.

Summer Fishing - Tips For Finding Fish And Catching Bigger Bass

These boys dodged the heat wave and caught some giant bass! Hop in the boat with them as they arrive in Wisconsin after a 12 hour drive across 5 states! Watch how they build a pattern, immediately locate fish, and not only catch fish, but catch great BIG bass! 

The key to success this evening was understanding bass' movements during the post spawn. With no history to rely on the guys looked at the map, chose a couple likely locations, and immediately began catching fish. They used a two-part approach, mixing a spy bait in with a variety of swimbaits. Post spawn fish tend to be aggressive, they want to feed, and this mix of reaction baits was the perfect option to catch these bass. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were using. We've included the exact colors and sizes, along with the gear they were using to throw them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can find detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
