This versatile bait can be fished as a bladed jig, ultra shallow swim jig, or buzzbait.

-FishArrow Riser Jack Swimbait: https://bit.ly/30FMOqw

This bait is a completely different action than you’re used to. Its a crackdown with a nose up rise that gets bit. Watch some of the JDM videos and you’ll be pumped!

We love to speed crank and this little bait is designed for speed. Its the exact profile of the Deep Little N but in a shallow version.

The 7’2″ 863C was designed for small to medium paddle tails. This is the first rod we’ve seen that is specifically designed to throw finesse swimbaits like the keitech. Great rod, great action, definitely fills a niche.

-Spro King Daddy: http://bit.ly/2h0LCYd

Summer Bass Fishing Gear Review! New Baits, Tackle, and Equipment This Summer!

Let’s take a look at some of the best new gear for this Summer! From new crankbaits to worms, trailer accessories to reels, we’re covering it all! This review is a selection of products from a variety of brands that have been making a difference in our fishing lately. Some items are brand new to the market, others have just recently had a positive impact in our fishing and earned a place in the review.

You may have noticed that our recent videos have not been from our home state. We’re back out on the road, traveling the country, and exploring new places. We’re coming to a lake near you, trying new gear, catching new fish, and continuing to grow our angling knowledge so we can help you become a more consistent angler as we share that knowledge. In the spirit of road tripping, we’ve recently had a lot of positive experiences with our boat and trailer upgrades so today Tim begins with a series of trailer upgrades that have been impacting his fishing in a positive way.

Boating/Trailer Equipment…

-Moto Stop Transom Saver (Yamaha): http://bit.ly/2SCCwW4

-DD26 Transom Saver (Mercury): https://bit.ly/2BfaZlC

-TH Marine Steer Stop- https://bit.ly/2Sc5Ikg

-Fulton F2 Series Trailer Jack: https://bit.ly/2YHEB34

-Fulton F2 Series Winch: https://bit.ly/3frtFx8

-Spare Boat Buckle Winch Straps (Loop End): https://bit.ly/2BgnOw1

Its no secret that we’re both tackle junkies. When new gear comes out we’re always quick to give it a try. We’re constantly fishing new brands, new baits, and new equipment. With Covid creating supply chain issues across the fishing industry we’ve been reaching even further to try new baits and gear while some of our favorites are sold out! These are a few of the items that have stood out for us in recent months. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and product descriptions of each item.

Baits…

-Megabass Z Series Z-1 Crankbait: https://bit.ly/2Y9dkHB

Favorite Colors: Mat Craw 2, PM Hot Gill 2, Kasumi Ito

-Megabass Z Series Z-2 Crankbait: https://bit.ly/3fsxn9G

Favorite Colors: GG Gill, Mat Craw 2, PM Hot Gill 2

-Teckel KickKnocker Topwater: http://bit.ly/2nvxkoA

Favorite Colors: Bone, Lime Ice

-Yum Mighty Worm: https://bit.ly/2Yajojh

Gear…

-Shimano Bantam Metanium MGL 150 B: https://bit.ly/34HlAAk

This reel is AWESOME for the price! If you’re looking for a new high-end “do everything” reel this is it! Today’s video is just giving it a quick stamp of approval because there is a dedicated review of just this reel coming in the future. We didn’t care to be first on a review, we wanted to really break this reel in and see how it did over time… more to come on that very soon.

-Sunline FC Structure Fluorocarbon Line: https://bit.ly/2UMO73N

This line is designed for fishing around structure. Big Worms and Jigs, deep water, etc… is what they had in mind when designing this. Its been on the market for a couple years but I’m just giving it a fair shot now and so far I’ve been very impressed.

NEW Tactical Bassin Apparel…

TacticalBassin Reaper Hoodie: http://bit.ly/2TwBWs7

Spring Bass Fishing Gear Review – Top New Baits and Rods For 2020!

A TON of awesome new baits and gear have already hit the market this Spring! Between the Bassmaster Classic and the start of prime fishing season across the south, the influx of new offerings is crazy! Today we’re wading through the new gear in search of the best of the best. We’ve tried a huge variety of baits and gear and compiled a short list of items that are worth taking a serious look at.

Today’s video is focused around baits and equipment that will have a tangible impact on your fishing. From the Hog Farmer Flex Rigs and their ability to draw drastically more strikes than stiffer rigs, to the Quiver worm’s ability to shake and shimmy unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, every item in today’s video has the ability to help you catch more fish. When it comes to rods, we looked at both ends of the spectrum.

Crankbait rods are one of the most difficult selections an angler can make because different sizes and styles of crankbaits require such different equipment to maximize their potential. The Intenza comes in at a budget-friendly price and is probably the most adaptable crankbait rod we’ve used to date. On the higher end of the gear spectrum, both the St. Croix and the Poison Adrena bring incredible sensitivity within reach, and the Twin Power delivers ultra high-end performance at a reduced price.

Below you’ll find a breakdown of all the equipment from today’s video in the order they appeared. We’ve included links that go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see the products in detail. For the baits, we’ve even included color recommendations and rigging advice. We hope you find this gear review helpful!

Buyer’s Guide: Dropshot Gear For Bass Fishing

In today’s Holiday Buyer’s Guide we’re exploring Dropshot Tackle. Tim shares his favorite worms, hooks, weights, and gear. Whether you dropshot out of necessity or because its your favorite technique, there is something in here for every bass fisherman. In addition to gear, Tim gives away a couple of his favorite tricks to catch more fish while losing less gear. Don’t miss the part about tie-on weights!

Dropshot fishing has been around for nearly two decades but its effectiveness hasn’t waned at all. Bass simply cannot resist a suspended worm when it is being worked properly. Learning how to work it properly is the key; don’t fall into the trap of working your bait the same year round. As a rule of thumb, baits should be worked much more aggressively in warm water than in cold. When it comes to color, natural is almost always best with a couple of odd exceptions. The colors “Morning Dawn” (Pink) and “Margarita Mutilator” (Bright Purple) work shockingly well despite looking like nothing in nature. These are the kinds of tricks that come with time but Tim is sharing them readily in this video.

Below is a breakdown of the baits (including color recommendations) that Tim has confidence in. You’ll also find links to his favorite hooks and weights, as well as rods and reels. Each link goes directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see up close pictures. Whether you’re watching this video for yourself or for a loved one, we’ve made it as easy as possible to find the products you need.
