Bass Fishing Gear Review! The Best Rods, Reels, and Baits For Summer Bass Fishing!

These are the HOTTEST new baits and gear to hit the bass fishing scene this Summer! After countless hours of testing, we've found the best new gear of the year! We've got rods and reels from Megabass, Shimano, Daiwa, and Abu Garcia. We've got baits and hooks from Duo Realis, Great Lakes Finesse, Netbait, and Owner! We've even got tackle storage and functional apparel! Let's go!!

This buyer's guide is all about quality bass fishing gear! We've got a strong focus on finesse, though the Megabass Destroyer LT doesn't fit that mold. Whether you're looking for a new rod or reel, a bait that will get bit when others won't, or a better way to store tackle, we've got you covered! These review allow our inner tackle junkies to run wild, but they also offer a unique look into the constant refinements this industry is making to stay ahead of heavily pressured fish and changing conditions.

Below you'll find links to all of the gear in the video. We've listed it in the order it appears so it's easy for you to find, and included any rigging or upgrade components you need to fish them effectively.
