Targeting Bigger Bass In Spring! (This Is How We Do It)

Its prime time to catch a GIANT Bass! Here's what you need to know! Tim walks us through his favorite baits for targeting big Spring bass. In addition to the baits, he explains key scenarios where these lures succeed. From bass suspending on overhead structure in early Spring, to ambushing around visible cover, to targeting them in open water, these are the details that make the difference for us!

Understanding these movements, and which baits work effectively during those periods, will maximize your chance of catching them.
