The FORGOTTEN Lure You Need To TRY! (Epic Day Of Old School Bass Fishing!!)

We're spending an entire day fishing an old school technique that has all but been forgotten! Come along for an awesome day of grubbing for Smallmouth in a clear water fishery! We're swimming grubs on light line and even adapting it to modern BFS gear for even more fun!!

The single tail grub is about as retro as it gets. Young anglers have no idea how to do it, older anglers around about to wonder why they stopped using them! The concept is simple, the gear is cheap, and the fish catching ability is amazing! Let's go grubbing!

Below you'll find links to the grubs and other gear we used throughout the day. We've included all our favorite colors, sizes, components, etc... as well as the rod and reel combos we fished them with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Finesse Fishing Tricks For Clear Water Summer Bass!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! The guys are fishing a new lake, targeting big clear water smallmouth. Watch as they check likely locations, use different baits, and dial in a great pattern for big bass!
