INSANE Underwater Footage Of Bass Eating Worms and Finesse Baits!

Come underwater and watch these bass destroy our baits! They’re inhaling dropshot worms, smashing ned rigs, and choking down tubes. If you’ve ever wanted to see exactly what happens to your finesse baits when you feel that “tick” in the line, this is for you! Its amazing to watch how the different bass approach and ambush each bait differently.

We focused on 3 styles of baits in today’s videos. While there are all sorts of awesome finesse baits the dropshot, ned rig, and tube are staples across the country. We included 3 different dropshot baits, 3 Ned Rig baits, and 1 tube. All of the baits used in the video are proven fish catchers that we have personal confidence in to consistently produce bites.

Below is a breakdown of the specific baits in the video (in order of appearance). We included all of our favorite colors for each bait as well as the terminal tackle we used to rig them so you can perfectly replicate the action shown.

5 Jig Fishing Tricks For Fall Bass Fishing

These 5 tricks will save you time and money! You can catch bigger bass with less gear by making some simple changes to your bass fishing. This Fall we are simplifying jig fishing! Don't worry about having every kind of jig in every color, you don't need it! You can do amazing things with a handful of simple jigs and trailers when you understand how to use them to your advantage.

Matt breaks his Fall jig fishing down into 3 styles of bass jig. He recommends pitching jigs, football jigs, and finesse jigs. Each jig has a unique purpose but when paired with a handful of trailer options and colors, they can be adapted to virtually any situation. Without question, if we could only have one, it would be the pitching jig. Don't let color overwhelm you either, focus on natural tones in several key colors and you're ready to fish all the way in to Winter.

Matt goes on to explain how to select the right jig rod. So many anglers don't understand what makes one rod better than another for jig fishing. The key to a quality jig rod is a balance of back bone (power) and tip flex (shock absorption). You need a rod that can drive the jig hook home but immediately following, you need a rod that can absorb the violent head shakes of a big bass.

Below is a breakdown of the jigs (with color recommendations), trailer options, and equipment that Matt and Tim use to catch jig fish all Fall and Winter.

Best Baits for Post Spawn Fish UNDERWATER FOOTAGE

Underwater Footage! Today we're headed back underwater to watch footage of bass in their natural environment. As we transition into the post-spawn and ultimately toward Summer we know that bass follow two behavioral patterns. The fish either head deep to the ledges and rock outcrops or they head shallow and burrow in to cover. Today we're going to focus on the behavior of the shallow bass.

As bass move into shallow cover they begin feeding heavily. Anglers can pursue them with a variety of methods but our favorites are topwater and heavy flipping. Today's video focuses heavily on topwater and gives us an incredibly unique underwater view of how bass line up and attack topwater baits from below.

There is an incredible amount of information to be learned by watching exactly how these bass feed. From how they stalk, to how far they're willing to move, to watch causes the "trigger" in their feeding response, you can become a much better angler just watching their reactions as baits pass overhead. We hope you enjoy the footage!

Below is a breakdown of the baits used in the video as well as a few extras that Tim really likes this time of year.
