Power Fishing Tips For Spring! (Spinnerbait, Swimbait, And Micro Baits)

What an awesome day on the water!!! Come along as Matt throws everything from micro baits in clear water, to spinnerbaits and swimbaits for big bass in murky water. Spring bass fishing is all about adapting to changing conditions and today was a perfect example of how to do it!

When the guys get on a spinnerbait or swimbait bite you'd better look out! Both Matt and Tim love a shallow water power fishing bite and today the fish were lined up and waiting to bite once Matt located them! Pay attention to the details Matt lets slip about dialing in his spinnerbaits, as well as about dialing in Multi–use rods.
