Blade Bait And Spoon Fishing Tricks For Fall Bass
Blades and spoons are amazing fish catching lures! The trouble is, you have to know how to use them. As bass corral shad and other baitfish, these baits become major players. While the spoon is typically focused around deep water fishing, with modern advances the blade bait can be used both deep and shallow. Here are the details you need to know...
Blade baits have come a long way in recent years. With more advanced baitfish shapes and lifelike color patterns these baits have become shallow water slayers during the cool and cold water months. When it comes to spoons, we use both jigging and flutter spoons. Jigging spoons are best fished quickly and aggressively around deep schooling bass that are on the move, while flutter spoons can be used more methodically.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits from each category, including our favorite weights and colors for each. We've also included relevant hook and hardware upgrades where applicable. Finally, we've included our exact rod and reel combos for each style, as well as a budget-friendly alternative.
