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.
