Top 5 Baits For Early Spring Bass Fishing

These are our Top 5 lures choices for Spring Bass Fishing. From the first signs of Spring all the way up to the spawn, these baits will produce. Whether you're fishing a pond or a giant reservoir, using these baits to locate active fish is a very effective way to catch bigger bass this Spring. 

One of the biggest mistakes we see anglers make is to fish too slowly during the Spring. This is the time when big bass are up and active more than any other time of year. Using these baits to effectively cover water quickly will put you in front of more big bass each day. Move quickly but fish effectively and you're going to find the success you're looking for!

G Loomis Conquest Rods - Are They Worth The Money??

We got the opportunity to check out the G Loomis Conquest and you need see what we found! This rod is a true hybrid between Shimano and G Loomis. For year's Shimano has been at the forefront of rod technology. With the Conquest we get all the advantages of that technology coupled with the build quality and sensitivity that G Loomis is known for. 

Shimano's Spiral X and Hi Power X technologies both make a huge difference in rod performance. Never before has this technology been mated with the incredible sensitivity of a Loomis blank. You've got to feel the difference for yourself!

The Rods...
G Loomis Conquest Casting Rods: http://bit.ly/2iL1PAY
G Loomis Conquest Spinning Rods: http://bit.ly/2BiGUNi

G Loomis NRX Casting Rods: http://bit.ly/2hedqsq
G Loomis NRX Spinning Rods: http://bit.ly/2dX9zjv

Reels we recommend pairing with...
Stella 2500 Spinning: http://bit.ly/2zT8C66
Exsence 300 Spinning: http://bit.ly/2iMtscV

Antares Casting Reel: http://bit.ly/2ha2zNI
Metanium Casting Reel: http://bit.ly/2ezIBfB
Aldebaran 50 Casting Reel: http://bit.ly/2fdX1Uy

The Conquest is in a league of its own. The only rod that comes close is the NRX, also by G Loomis. Both rods are unbelievably sensitive but one (The NRX) is built for ultra-light weight sensitivity while the Conquest is built for Power and Sensitivity. Be realistic about your fishing style as you choose between these two amazing rods.
