Underspin Tricks You Haven't Tried Yet! (But You Need To)

Underspins work! Paired with a swimbait they bring more flash, more vibration, and unique colors that fool bass into biting. If you fish for bass in Spring and you don't have an underspin in the mix, you're probably getting out fished by someone who does! We have some little tricks we use to make our underspins even better and today Tim is giving it up!

First you have to understand the differences between the different underspins and what they're for. After that you get a feel for which swimbaits to pair them to in different situations. Once you've got that down you're a very proficient under spin fisherman and its time to start playing with blades and stinger hooks. 

Below you'll find links to the baits, heads, blades, and hooks that we use. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

4 Underspin Tricks To Catch More Bass! Bonus Underwater Footage!

Catching BIG bass when everyone else is catching small fish is easy! Are you tired of keitech swimbaits getting torn? Which heads are best for ledge fishing? Did you know you can use blade size and color to change how a bass eats, not just when a bass eats? Do blades even move when bottom fishing? Does it matter? All of this and more in today's information-packed video on Fall Underspin fishing for bass!

The Underspin is one of the most underrated lures in bass fishing. Most clear water fishermen assume its too flashy and most muddy water fishermen don't realize their fish can find it. If you're one of the lucky ones that has given this technique a try during its recent resurgence, you already know how amazing it can be! The under spin may be the most versatile of all reaction baits. It has an effective range with water temps from high 30's all the way up to 80+ degrees. It can be fished in 50+ feet of water but is equally effective in just inches of water around vegetation.

The key to the underspin is in the subtle nuances. For example, the River2Sea D Walker will cause the bait to rock, roll, and flash more than any other bait we've ever seen. The keitech will get bit at virtually any speed and with the quick "spring trick" in this video, can last through dozens of fish. The Blade Runner Spintrix will draw fish with its incredible head wobble but when conditions change the Hog Farmer will catch them with its stable action. Pay attention to the details in this video and you will catch way more bass this Fall!

Below is a breakdown of the baits, heads, and gear we use when fishing these underspins for bass.
