Winter Transition Bass Fishing! (Lipless, A–Rig, Plus Bonus Topwater!)

Let's go fishing!! Matt is back on the Tennessee River after the Buyer's Guides, and he's ready to catch some fish! Watch as he eliminates water, builds a pattern, and starts catching fish! By the end he's catching them on every cast!

Whenever you've been away from the lake it takes time to locate fish. Today Matt got some clues with the Tactical Micro Rig, but really had to work for the rest of the puzzle pieces. By the end he figured out a great lipless crankbait bite, and that topwater fish was an awesome late–season bonus fish!

Below you'll find links to all the baits he caught fish on. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each, as well as some of the great rod and reel combos he was fishing. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.

BUYER'S GUIDE: TACKLE STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR BOAT, HOME, AND SHORE!

Tackle Management isn't glamorous but it's really important! Today we're taking a deep dive into the world of tackle and fishing gear storage. Whether you're walking the shore, hopping on a plane, or getting in the boat, these are items we trust to keep our fishing tackle safe!

Tackle storage solutions vary greatly depending on the angler's needs. An individual moving between boats needs totally different gear than an angler who walks the bank. An individual who travels regularly needs yet another set of storage solutions. With all these different needs in mind, we've combed through our own tackle and selected some of our favorite storage solutions to give you examples of what you can do to keep your gear safe and organized.

If any of these items stand out to you, you can find them linked below. We've listed them in the order they appeared in the video to help you find the right items quickly. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
