Top 5 Baits For July Bass Fishing!

These are the baits we trust when July temperatures start to soar! The hotter it gets, the more predictable the bass are, creating an amazing opportunity for you as an angler. If you know which baits to use and where to fish, July bass fishing can be amazing! It doesn't matter where you are in the country, its time to get on the water and experience the peak of Summer bass fishing!

As water temperatures rise, bass rely heavily on overhead cover to shield them from the sun. It doesn't matter if you're on a small creek, a giant reservoir, or a weed-clogged lake, the need for shade makes bass very easy to catch. Without any effort at all you can predict where they will sit and with a few key baits, catching them becomes very easy. Forget beating the heat this July, its time to embrace the heat and use it to your advantage!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video. We've included details on sizes, colors, and any modifications he uses to fish each bait. We've also included links to some great budget-friendly rod and reel combos that will help you fish these techniques effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
