Swimbait Fishing Is EASY! Spring Bass Fishing For BIG Bass!

We're down in Georgia and Matt is throwing big baits! Come along on a post-front day and watch how Matt targets big bass with a swimbait despite tough conditions. Spring is prime time to catch a new personal best and Matt is showing us just how easy it can be when you commit to a big swimbait and fish it instead of other lures.

After fishing traditional baits like a Senko and Texas-Rigged worm Matt quickly realized it was going to be a difficult day on the water. Instead of putting his head down and catching what he could, he re-geared, picked up the big baits, and committed to trying to get a BIG bite, rather than catching numbers of fish. The decision paid off immediately when Matt got his biggest bass of the day on the 3rd cast!

Below you'll find links to the swimbaits Matt was throwing, including the rigging components, as well as his swimbait setups. We've also included some of our other favorite Spring time swimbaits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
