Top 5 Baits For April Bass Fishing!

The best bass fishing of the year is happening now! Don't miss it! There is no better time to get on the water and catch a bunch of fish! In April, you can typically find fish in all 3 stages of the spawn and it's not hard to catch them. If you've ever wanted to learn a new technique, or target a big bass, this is the time!

Bass can be caught on a mix of fast moving reaction baits and slow, bottom contact presentations. When it comes to reaction baits, we focus on details that make our baits stand out. We're using baits with flash, vibration, and sound to get the bass' attention. When it comes to soft baits, it's all about a natural presentation. We find that baits with some blue in them will often catch more fish than other colors.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim discussed in the video, including our favorite sizes and colors. We've also included some of the gear we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
