This Shallow Water Trick Catches GIANT Bass! (2 Bass For Over 20 lbs!!!) 😎

We're heading shallow! Come along as we search the shallows for bass that are making early moves toward the prespawn. SPOILER ALERT: IT WORKS!!! You're about to witness a beat down as we catch bass after bass, up to 11 lbs!!! This time of year can produce giants if you're willing to pursue them!

So many anglers forget to adapt with the seasons. We're constantly pushing the envelope and searching for fish that are moving ahead of the norm. In this case, it involved moving shallow despite cool conditions. It payed off in a huge way! We started off catching big bass with squarebills and paddle tail swimbaits, then ended it with GIANT BASS on chatterbaits! 

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

BUYER'S GUIDE: Chatterbaits, Spinnerbaits, and Best Trailers!

Today's buyers guide is all about the spinnerbait and chatterbait. This is a huge category with a wide variety of baits and styles but we were able to easily narrow it down to key baits that you can rely on to catch fish throughout the year! These two staples belong in every angler's arsenal, here's what you need to know... 

Each of these categories could be their own buyer's guide but for the sake of time we've combined them. The chatterbait, or bladed jig, comes in dozens of versions but there are only a few that stand out from the crowd. The spinnerbait comes in a plethora of shapes, sizes, and blade configurations but also has a few key baits that stand above the rest. 

Below you'll find links to the baits and gear in the order we discussed them. We've included our favorite sizes, weights, and colors for each and all the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.

Chatterbait And Swim Jig Tricks For Summer Bass!

Bladed jigs and swim jigs are great lures for catching bass in Summer! They can be fished in and around cover and can catch bass in all sorts of different environments. However, there are some key details to fishing these baits in Summer that differs from other times of year. 

Fishing a chatterbait or swim jig in Summer is all about grass and heavy cover. Your rod and line are two key details that most anglers overlook this time of year. The same setup you were using in Spring may not be right for Summer fishing. The key is to create a situation where the baits have "hang time" as they break free of grass and debris. Once you dial in this trick you will catch way more fish than the other anglers around you. 

In addition to dialing in your gear, there are a few different baits and trailers that will help you get more bites in different situations. Below you'll find links to the exact baits, including sizes, colors, and trailer options, that we fish in the Summer. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The BEST Way To Catch MORE Bass This Spring! (Schooling Bass)

Come along as we head out on the water to uncover the BEST way to catch Bass in the Spring! You can spend your time searching for a bite or you can specifically target schools of fish and catch multiples from each location. We use very specific lures to trigger schools of bass into a feeding frenzy, then catch the big ones while they're caught up in the excitement!

This method of targeting big bass in schools works all over the country. We discovered this method over a decade ago and have put it to work countless times. By triggering the smallest bass in the school to feed, you can get even the largest fish to engage without having to fool them into believing your lure is real. Forget trying to catch Spring bass on slow moving baits, its time to learn how to trigger entire schools!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt had on deck. We've included the exact colors, sizes, and hook upgrades for each. We've also included the rods and reels he was using to maintain such a high hook up to land ratio despite using treble hooks. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see photos and descriptions of each item.
