HUGE NEWS!! TACTICALBASSIN IS EXPANDING!!

Are you ready for even more fishing content?! Here we go!! Tim and Matt have reached out to a handful of talented anglers from the TacticalBassin Family, and invited them to film fishing videos to give you a fresh perspective as you dial in your angling! Today you get to meet Jesse Kroetch!

Matt and Tim aren't changing their video whatsoever, don't worry! The "Tactical Family" videos are IN ADDITION to the videos they're already creating. The guys understand that certain regions around the country break the seasonal norms of bass fishing and have reached out to friends in those areas to create content that will help anglers in those places stay dialed into seasonal changes, patterns, and baits.

If you enjoyed this video, keep an eye out for more Tactical Family videos in the future. And don't forget, the Holiday Buyer's Guide series starts tomorrow! Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear Jesse fished with throughout the day. All the links go to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Finesse Tricks For Skittish Bass ( Early Fall )

Tim is fishing a new lake and the water is crystal clear! Come along for a fun day on the water as Tim uses some finesse tricks to coax these Leary late season bass into biting! From specifics on his finesse tackle, to how to extend cast range, lead fish, and more... Tim is giving up all the tips!

Today was all about finesse! Tim's primary baits were a tube and a finesse swimbait. Color was key on the tube but didn't seem important at all on the swimbait. The most important factor was reaching the fish before they detected the boat. Long casts, light line, and keeping the boat quiet were all critical factors.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he used throughout the day. We've also included some awesome budget–friendly combos that will help you maximize distance and catch these Fall bass, even in clear water and heavily pressured situations.

This Two Bait Approach Catches Late Summer Bass!

Come along with the guys for a late evening bass fishing session! They're targeting bass around docks and timber, and they've developed a perfect 1 –2 punch for catching these fish. They have two patterns going at the same time and when the bass won't eat one, they eat the other!

We all love throwing topwater this time of year. And if you've jumped on the "Karashi" train lately, then you already know that is one of the most amazing bites you'll ever experience! But a trick we've learned for late Summer is that fishing these baits in tandem (one angler throwing one, one angler throwing the other) really seems to ignite these fish and we can catch almost every fish we get near.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits used in the video. We've also included some of the key combos we were using, especially the Karashi combo where the right setup makes all the difference in how the bait moves in the water. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Cold Water Bass Fishing Tricks! 19 Degrees and We're Still Power Fishing!!

Come along for a wild day on the water!! Its 19 degrees but the fish are biting! Matt is using a high speed reel in freezing cold temperatures to trigger a feed response in Bass when nothing else is working! This trick works and you can do it too!!

We talk a lot about the power of speed cranking in cold water. Today you get to see it first hand! Matt manages to catch a couple jig fish along the way but for the most part can't get bit on anything. When he picks up the crankbait on an 8:1 reel and starts burning it, the fish start reacting!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits we used throughout the day. We've included information like weight, color, trailers, as well as the gear we were using to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
