The Best Way To Catch Bigger Bass Right Now!!

Spring is on the horizon and bass are shifting toward the prespawn. During this period there is one simple trick you can take advantage of to catch more and bigger fish! Focus your attention on red (and orange) lures! From chatterbaits to crankbaits, spinnerbaits to jigs, these bold crawfish imitators should be a staple in your fishing arsenal!

The color red is the biggest trick in Spring bass fishing. If you're on a clear water lake, focus on a ghost red. If your water is recently turned muddy, focus on the bright reds and oranges. If your fish don't want to chase, add some red to your jig. Its remarkable the difference that this one little trick can make! We catch a TON of fish on red in the next 4-8 weeks and we don't want you to miss out!

Below you'll find links to some of our favorite baits to throw in red patterns. We've included the exact color names for each bait, as well as a couple of the rod and reel combos we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Underwater Video of Bass Eating Crawfish!

UNDERWATER FOOTAGE of bass eating crawfish plus bonus video of world class Spotted Bass and Largemouth swimming in their natural habitat! Ever wondered if Bass really eat crawfish? 

Its amazing to watch how casually these big spotted bass inhale the crawfish. With no effort at all they are able to gulp them down. I'm not sure what we expected but they sure seem to eat without any concern. 

Crawfish are a primary forage food for bass but we rarely get an opportunity to actually watch them get eaten. There is so much information to be gleened by watching these bass interact with each other and their surroundings. Huge thanks to Paul Young for getting this great footage while freediving California's reservoirs!
