Underspin Tricks You Haven't Tried Yet! (But You Need To)

Underspins work! Paired with a swimbait they bring more flash, more vibration, and unique colors that fool bass into biting. If you fish for bass in Spring and you don't have an underspin in the mix, you're probably getting out fished by someone who does! We have some little tricks we use to make our underspins even better and today Tim is giving it up!

First you have to understand the differences between the different underspins and what they're for. After that you get a feel for which swimbaits to pair them to in different situations. Once you've got that down you're a very proficient under spin fisherman and its time to start playing with blades and stinger hooks. 

Below you'll find links to the baits, heads, blades, and hooks that we use. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

This Is How We Catch Bigger Bass In Spring! (Shallow Water Tricks)

Come along for a day on the water and watch how we locate big bass in a giant reservoir! Matt runs the exact pattern that we teach for early season bass fishing and it plays out perfectly. First he catches a few fish, then he catches a whole school, then he catches a BIG one! Its the perfect script for early Spring bass fishing!

Matt is targeting early prespawn bass with a chatterbait, lipless, and squarebill. He's running secondary points in search of active fish and not wasting any time on unproductive water. When he locates a school he picks it apart then keeps moving in search of the bigger fish that are sure to follow. This is a pattern you can run on any lake around the country. We hope this gives you confidence to keep moving until you catch the fish you're searching for!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt was using throughout the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've also included a link to Tim's recent "red bait" video to help you gain an understanding of the crawfish phenomenon in Spring.

Chatterbait Fishing – Everything You Need To Know! (UNDERWATER FOOTAGE)

If you're a serious angler, you need to fish a chatterbait! These bladed jigs catch a ton of fish, and they catch giant bass too! By changing trailers you get get a chatterbait to mimic shad, panfish, crawfish, and a variety of other prey species. You can keep it simple, or follow us down the rabbit hole as we explore chatterbait trailers, colors, retrieves, study underwater footage, and more. Let's go! 

The chatterbait is incredibly versatile once you learn to adapt your trailers and retrieves. We use 4 main trailers paired to 4 different chatterbaits to meet every situation we face. The chatterbait can remain a simple option in your arsenal, or you can start adapting retrieves from a high speed burn, to a popping retrieve, to a bottom hopping presentation, to take it to a whole different level! Its up to you, but either way you need to commit to the chatterbait this Spring.
