Lipless Crankbait Tricks and Spring Bass Fishing Tips!

Come along for a crazy day on the water! We start off with a school of bass that are fired up and ready to eat! After sticking a pile of them on a lipless crankbait, we move on, in search of bigger bass. Let's go!!

Spring is an awesome time to be on the water! Come and learn as Matt targets schooling fish, then adapts and locates big prespawn fish sitting on outside structure. Pay close attention to the details as he explains how and why he catches each fish.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits he used throughout the day. We've included the exact sizes and colors where relevant, as well as the rod and reel combos he used to fish the baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Two Lakes In One Day! Catching Bass On Crazy Lure Colors!

Most anglers don't know these lure colors actually work! Come on the road with us as we fish new water! We're throwing baits (and colors) that the average angler overlooks. Bold colors work incredibly well in Spring, especially in stained water. Come along as we explore, adapt, and catch giant bass!

Chartreuse and Blue are two of the most underrated colors in fishing. They may not work every day on every lake, but they tend to get larger than average bites. If you've been overlooking these bold colors, you may want to second guess that decision. Today the guys were applying them in fast moving current below giant dams on the Tennessee river, and the bass (and drum) couldn't resist!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were using, including the exact sizes and colors they used. We've also included some of the rod and reel combos we used to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Finding Fish In A New Lake! ( This Crazy Pattern Worked!! )

We're on a new lake and it's a good thing he saw the birds! We're deep in the South with an evening to burn so we're fishing a new lake. It's covered in lily pads with tons of cover along the shorelines. Everything about this lake says "fish shallow cover" but when Matt saw birds diving, the light tackle came out and he got bit on the first cast!

If you'd told Matt ahead of time that he'd be throwing light spinning tackle in open water on a lake like this, he would have thought you were crazy! This is why it's so important to keep an open mind when you approach a new lake. Pay attention to what the fish are saying and keep an eye on your environment for any clues. This evening, the birds were working bait and Matt was sure the fish wouldn't be far behind.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt was fishing, and the equipment he used to throw them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

TacticalBassin's Latest Lure Design! (Collaboration Project)

Our latest lure design has come to life! The TacticalBassin Underspin Series is here! We launched the "Mini" underspin last year and it became an instant hit across the country. Today we're excited to announce the complete series of mid and full size underspins!

We partnered with Dirty Jigs Tackle for this project and the final results are everything we'd hoped! There are so many features packed into these new heads and we know they're going to help anglers like you catch more fish this year! From the downward facing hook keeper to the dropper arm length that pairs perfectly to all the popular swimbaits, our attention to detail with this project will be evident.

Underspins have incredible drawing power and our latest version has what it takes to land that giant bite! The hook is the perfect balance between strength and size, pairing perfectly to a variety of baits while maintaining a low profile.
