How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms **Underwater Footage Of Bass Attacking Lures**

We can learn more in a few minutes underwater than we can in months on a boat! Watching how bass bite different lures, what makes them lash out,  what causes them to back away, is incredible information that makes us better bass fisherman! Today we're focused on plastic worms rigged different ways. Come underwater with us and watch how bass eat a Ned Rig, a Dropshot, a Shaky Head, and a Neko Rig!

We learn so much about bass every time we head underwater, but we also learn a ton about the lures we're using. From above, a Neko rig doesn't look like much but did you see how that bait quivers in the water?! the X Zone Ned Zone is just another bait above water but its got that extra something that just gets bit and its easy to see why! Did you see any stand out baits in today's video? Perhaps it was the way that smallie smasher shakes at even the lightest touch, or the way the Ned Bomb's tail pumps as it moves through the water? 

We hope you're able to glean all sorts of information from this video. It never ceases to amaze us how little subtleties make huge differences in these baits and in the bass' behavior toward them. Pay close attention to how much you move (or don't move) your baits and you'll start catching more fish. All of the baits are linked in the description below. We've included our favorite colors for each as well as the tackle we used to rig them. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

New Boat For 2021!! Aluminum Jet Boat!

Let's go exploring! This aluminum boat has been Matt's dream for 3 years! While fast bass boats and advanced technologies are important parts of bass fishing, there is something to be said for a basic aluminum that can run in skinny water, away from the crowds. Come along as Matt shows his new (used) aluminum boat and talks about where TacticalBassin is headed in 2021!

The boat is a War Eagle 1754 With a Yamaha 4 Stroke 70 HP motor. Its going to allow Matt and Tim to explore backwaters, ponds, rivers, and creeks, that could never be explored with the bass boat or even the kayak. They will be able to venture into new areas, reach untouched fish (hopefully) and take you along on all kinds of adventures! Matt is keeping the boat very simple. He's installing a depth finder and a trolling motor so the guys can fish comfortably, but that will be the extent of the technology. 

When its time for advanced videos, the guys will be in their bass boats. When its time to just go fishing and have a good time, they'll be in the aluminum, and when its time to pick apart places that can't be reached by either one, they'll be in the kayaks. 

Below you'll find links to the handful of upgrades Matt is making to the boat, along with some of his favorite tools and equipment that he put into the boat for safety and reliability. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Are We Fishing Your Lake In 2021?!

The New Year is here and we're getting back on the road! 2020 was crazy for all of us. Some lost loved ones, others lost jobs, some found human kindness where it was least expected, and a few stuck some big fish in the midst of the chaos. What does 2021 hold for TacticalBassin? Let's find out! 

We're getting back out on the road in 2021. Living in a new part of the country, we've got all kinds of new goals. From big bass, to big striper and musky, the options are almost endless. We have plans to fish across the South, put more time into Florida, and even fish our way up the Eastern seaboard. If we've never been to a lake near you before, you just might see us this year! 

What are your goals for 2021? The key to consistent success is goal setting. Plan for success, follow through, and you will find success. Maybe you want to catch a new personal best? Maybe you want to master a technique? Whatever it is, leave a comment and let us know your goals because putting them into writing will increase your chances of success dramatically.
