The EASIEST Trick To Catch BIGGER Bass Right NOW!

Want to catch bigger bass this year? There is one simple change you can make with your baits that will immediately increase the size of fish you catch! You don't have to fish different places or different times of day. Its easy!

The Shaky Head worm catches a ton of bass in Spring and Summer! If you've ever tried one you know exactly what we're talking about. However, the finesse jig is more likely to catch a bigger bass overall than the shaky head. If you want to start upsizing your catch without changing your routine, its as easy as cutting off the worm and tying on the jig. 

Below you'll find links to the exact shaky heads, jigs, and jig trailers we use during the Spring and Summer. We've also included some of our favorite rod and reel combos for jig fishing. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Top 5 Baits For April Bass Fishing!

Bass fishing is at its peak in April! There is no better time to get on the water and catch a bunch of fish. You can typically find fish in all 3 stages of the spawn and it doesn't take a keen understanding of fish movement to predict where they'll be. Head for the shallows with this short list of baits and you're bound to catch a few fish!

Bass can still be caught on reaction baits, but you can also slow down and catch them on soft plastics. Whatever style you prefer, there will be bass to catch. When it comes to reaction baits, we put a lot of emphasis on standing out from the crowd. We're using baits with flash, vibration, and sound to get the bass' attention. When it comes to soft baits, its all about a natural presentation. We find that baits with a touch of blue in them will often out-produce the others. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video, including our favorite sizes and colors. We've also included some of the gear we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Winter Jig Fishing Tips And Tricks!

Snow and ice won't stop us from catching fish! Come along as the guys hit the water on Dale Hollow in search of a Winter jig bite. They use a two-pronged approach throwing both a traditional football jig, and a Hula Grub in the cold January waters and it doesn't take long before big bass start coming into the boat!

Winter is a great time to throw a jig. The larger crawfish profile dragged slowly along bottom is often more than a lethargic Winter bass can resist. Similar to a swimbait, the jig creates a slow moving, oversized meal that requires little energy to eat and tends to catch bigger than average fish. Notice that Tim's first several fish were big bass, despite the brutal cold conditions. When the water temperatures plunge and the fish don't seem to want to feed, switching from a traditional football jig to a "Hula Grub" style jig will often get more bites as well. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear used in the video. We've included our preferred sizes, colors, and rod models for each presentation. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Cold Water Jig Trick When Bass Won't Bite!

Some days the fish don't want to cooperate, that's when this trick works! With snow and freezing rain coming, Tim couldn't get bit on any of his power fishing techniques. He dropped down to a jig and they wouldn't eat that either! When he made a subtle switch to a cold water trick that is often forgotten, the fish started coming in the boat!

The Hula Grub is a bait that most anglers have forgotten. Its a highland reservoir secret when bass don't want to bite but it can work on any lake in the country. Something about its subtle kicking action triggers cold water fish into biting. If you're struggling to get bit on the jig, even a finesse jig, you should give a Hula Grub a try. Its an inexpensive alternative to jig fishing and it gets bit all Winter long!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, heads, and gear Tim was using in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
