FINESSE SWIMBAIT vs SOFT JERKBAIT: Which Is Better?

Come along for an awesome day of fishing with Matt and his Dad! We're on vacation in the North to get away from the heat and the bass fishing is on fire! The fish are aggressive, and the water is clear. What more could we ask for?!

This lake is a perfect example of a natural Northern fishery. It has a healthy mix of both largemouth and smallmouth bass, and you can target either one. Today the smallmouth are on finesse patterns and the largemouth are ambushing around shallow cover.

Summer Bass Fishing: Crankbait VS Underspin!

Come along for an amazing day of Summer Bass Fishing! Matt finds multiple schools of fish with crankbaits and underspins, then hooks an absolute GIANT that tests the limits of an ultralight BFS rod! From Bait Finesse to deep diving crankbaits, this is a great day on the water!

This time of year there are so many great ways to catch bass. If you look at the front deck of Matt's boat, you'll notice he starts out with 12 different rods so he can adapt to changing conditions. However, it doesn't take long to realize the underspin swimbait and deep diving crankbaits will be the main fish catchers all day long.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, sizes, hook upgrades for the baits, and even the apparel he used to hide from the blistering sun.

Targeting Bass With Summer Swimbaits! (Big And Small)

The bass are big and the bite is on fire! Let's go fishing!! Come along with us for a fun day on the water as we explore a new lake! It doesn't take long to find out there are both Largemouth and Smallmouth in this lake, and things really take a turn when Matt figures out they'll eat the Magdraft Swimbait!

It's always a challenge to find fish in a new lake. Step one is to fish likely locations, step two is to build a pattern, step three is to repeat. On this day it doesn't take long to find some aggressive Smallmouth, but thankfully Matt and CC didn't settled there and kept hunting, because the story of this lake is quality largemouth!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. From the baits, to the colors, to the map card we're using to find the points, we've linked it, to help you fish with confidence on your location fisheries. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
