Swinging Jigs And Wobble Heads For Summer Bass! Beginner To Advanced + Underwater Footage!

This is Matt's favorite technique for catching BIG BASS in late Spring and early Summer! Most fishermen completely ignore the Swing head jig, and they're missing out! This technique is easy to do, won't require new gear, and catches a ton of big fish! It's time to set your old patterns aside, and try something completely different.

The swinging jig is incredibly simple. All you do is pair the free swinging head with your favorite soft plastic bait, and retrieve it along the bottom. As you swim it along, the bait will deflect off cover and draw reaction strikes from bass. While this technique can be done with swimbaits, worms, and craws, our best results have consistently come with creature baits.

When it comes to baits, there are endless options that can be rigged on these heads. However, we've found very specific baits that consistently get bigger bites. Below you'll find links to those exact baits, as well as the heads and gear we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The Two Bait Trick For June Bass Fishing!

Jump in the boat for an awesome day on a brand new lake! Matt is targeting offshore bass on a lake he's never fished. It's no surprise that he turns to his confidence baits to get bites and build a pattern. It doesn't take long before the pattern is dialed and Matt is catching quality fish!

Matt used his favorite one–two punch to catch fish today. The combination of a wobble head jig (Swinging jighead), and a shaky head worm is more than early Summer bass can resist! Using these baits together gives you the best shot at catching a big bass, as well as catching numbers of fish along the way. Throw in an awesome Karashi catch and you've got the trifecta of fun fishing!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the terminal tackle, the specific colors, as well as the rod and reel combos, to help you dial in your own gear.

Incredible Fall Transition Bass Fishing Tips! Jesse Kroetch – Tactical Family

Let's head to the Pacific Northwest and jump in the boat with Jesse Kroetch! Jesse is on a unique fishery that mirrors a lot of what we see across the Southern US, with smallmouth in fast water by the dams, and largemouth on expansive grass flats downstream. He's on an awesome river bite for both species, you don't want to miss this!

Rivers present more challenges than lakes, but they also have great potential for success. Bass that live in rivers tend to be stronger and more aggressive than their lake–raised cousins. Today Jesse takes a 2–pronged approach. He begins his day by the dam, where fish are smaller but aggressive. He targets them effectively with topwater, a Karashi, a swimbait, and a jerkbait. Later he turns his attention to downstream grass and the big fish start coming into the boat!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he used throughout the day. We've included exact lure colors, as well as the rod and reel combos Jesse used to land his fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
