NEW TacticalBassin Sunglasses and A-Rigs! Spring Gear Review of Rods, Reels, and More!

Its finally here! Our Spring Gear Review! To kick it off we've got our brand new TacticalBassin Sunglasses and Tactical Bassin Flex Rigs! From there, we're looking at a variety of rods, reels, and lures that will help you catch more bass this Spring! 

After 2 long years our sunglasses are finally here! We partnered with Eye Surrender Eyewear and spared no expense on frames, lenses, coatings, finishes, etc... to create the absolute best glasses we possibly could for fishing and daily use. 

Next, we partnered with HogFarmer Baits and created a flexible A-Rig to our exact specifications so you no longer have to modify your rigs to get the most out of them. These rigs are ready to fish, exactly how we set them up when we go fishing. From the 6-Wire configuration, to the Owner Hyperwire Split Rings, every detail matches our personal rigs. 

From there we start talking rods and reels. We're looking at 4 rods from St. Croix, G Loomis, 13 Fishing, and Savage Gear, as well as a light weight reel from 13 Fishing. To round out the video we take a look at big rats, a squarebill crankbait, and two plastic worms. 

All of the gear shown in the video is linked below. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and specifications for each item. We've included favorite colors, sizes, and models where applicable, and organized them in the order they appeared in the video for ease of identification.

Electronics Tricks To Find More Fish! (Winter Fishing Edition)

Winter fishing can be very challenging but mastering your electronics will make it much easier! If you're not catching fish you start wondering if they're even around, if you're in the right part of the lake, or if its what you're using. Step one to consistent Winter fishing for any predatory fish (bass, panfish, catfish, etc...) is to locate baitfish. This can be done very quickly with modern electronics and today we're showing you how to dial them in to maximize your time on the water!

Today Tim is coving a handful of topics including... 

- Adjusting Water Level Offset During Winter Pool

-Measuring Distances on Side Imaging

-Waypointing on Side Imaging

-Adjusting Your Side Imaging Display

-Recognizing fish and baitfish on modern electronics


Most boats are equipped with some sort of depth finding/ fishing finding electronics. Some use 2D sonar, others use advanced technologies like side imaging, down imaging, and Live imaging. We all know the important of these electronics but the majority of boat owners and fishermen have no idea how to use these tools effectively. Spending a bit of time to adjust your electronics will absolutely help you catch more fish in Winter. 

Below you'll find links to the exact electronics that we use to maximize our time on the water and catch more fish. We've also included more budget-minded products that will still do an awesome job while saving a few dollars. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

New Boat For 2021!! Aluminum Jet Boat!

Let's go exploring! This aluminum boat has been Matt's dream for 3 years! While fast bass boats and advanced technologies are important parts of bass fishing, there is something to be said for a basic aluminum that can run in skinny water, away from the crowds. Come along as Matt shows his new (used) aluminum boat and talks about where TacticalBassin is headed in 2021!

The boat is a War Eagle 1754 With a Yamaha 4 Stroke 70 HP motor. Its going to allow Matt and Tim to explore backwaters, ponds, rivers, and creeks, that could never be explored with the bass boat or even the kayak. They will be able to venture into new areas, reach untouched fish (hopefully) and take you along on all kinds of adventures! Matt is keeping the boat very simple. He's installing a depth finder and a trolling motor so the guys can fish comfortably, but that will be the extent of the technology. 

When its time for advanced videos, the guys will be in their bass boats. When its time to just go fishing and have a good time, they'll be in the aluminum, and when its time to pick apart places that can't be reached by either one, they'll be in the kayaks. 

Below you'll find links to the handful of upgrades Matt is making to the boat, along with some of his favorite tools and equipment that he put into the boat for safety and reliability. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
