Bait Finesse Fishing For Early Fall Bass! These Finesse Tricks Really Work!!

Check this out! These TINY baits catch bass all through the Early Fall Transition! If you're tired of struggling and you want to try something different, come along on Matt's boat and watch how easy it is to downsize your presentation to catch more fish, and have more fun!

Whether you're struggling through the Fall transition, you can tell your bass are targeting small baitfish, or you live on a lake that doesn't have many big fish, whatever the reason; bait finesse is the solution! Quit fighting the trend, tie on a small bait, and give it a shot. There's a reason Matt puts the big baits down and picks up these small profiles in the Fall.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt fished throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, as well as the rods and reels he used to catch fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Don't Make This TINY Mistake! (Bait Finesse Tricks For Fall Transition Bass Fishing)

Have you tried this trick to catch more bass during the Summer to Fall Transition? Downsizing your bait works! As water temperatures begin to cool, bass target juvenile baitfish for an easy meal. Don't get left behind on the easiest bite this season!

If you understand where this is happening and which baits to throw, the early Fall transition gets a lot easier! Most anglers fail to realize what's happening and get frustrated as they watch bass feed, while their lures get ignored. SIZE IS KEY! The smaller the bait, the better the match to what the bass are actually eating!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors for each, as well as the specifics on our favorite bait finesse rod and reel combos in different price ranges.

Summer Bass Fishing: Crankbait VS Underspin!

Come along for an amazing day of Summer Bass Fishing! Matt finds multiple schools of fish with crankbaits and underspins, then hooks an absolute GIANT that tests the limits of an ultralight BFS rod! From Bait Finesse to deep diving crankbaits, this is a great day on the water!

This time of year there are so many great ways to catch bass. If you look at the front deck of Matt's boat, you'll notice he starts out with 12 different rods so he can adapt to changing conditions. However, it doesn't take long to realize the underspin swimbait and deep diving crankbaits will be the main fish catchers all day long.

RAW BASS FISHING! Serious Fish Catching And Finesse Fishing Knowledge!

Have you ever caught this many bass, this quickly?! Tim is headed out for an afternoon on the lake and he's bringing you along for the fun! It takes him no time to find some giant schools of aggressive bass and the catching ensues! Listen closely as he talks through his mindset, his approach, and the specifics of the baits he's using.

This day is all about finesse. Tim is focused on swimbaits, spy baits, hair jigs, and tubes, to keep the fish biting. Consistently cycling through baits is key to keeping the schools of fish active. They're on isolated areas in open water, specifically chunk rock and rock to sand transitions, so these fish would be easily overlooked by an angler who was simply fishing the bank.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Tim used throughout the day. From the specific colors, to the rigging components, to the rod and reel combos, we've linked it all. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
