BUYER'S GUIDE: Jerkbaits and Jerkbait Rods For Bass!

Let's talk jerkbaits!! In today's Buyer's Guide we're covering all the important questions you need to know the answers to! Which jerkbaits are best? Which sizes and colors should you focus on for different situations? Should you throw the same model all year? And what rod do you need to work a jerkbait properly? 

We love jerkbaits! Their ability to trigger a feed response in wary bass is remarkable and once mastered, is something you can use to consistently catch big bass. Understanding what different jerkbaits are designed for and how to fish them effectively is the missing piece of the puzzle. We've got you covered!

BUYER'S GUIDE: Tackle Storage, Gear Protection, and Line Management!

Tackle Management is critical! Keeping your gear safe and easily accessible is one of the most time consuming jobs an angler has both on and off the water. Through the years we've narrowed down the gear we rely on to properly protect our gear both at home and on the water. Whether you're walking the shore, hopping on a plane, or getting in the boat, these are items we trust. 

Tackle storage at home, on the boat, traveling between vehicles, and while traveling on major trips, all requires different equipment. Its easy to spend a fortune on tackle management solutions so we're here to help narrow it down for you. Each of these items came out of our personal gear and is an item that has tangibly helped us stay more organized. 

If any of these items stand out to you, you can find them linked below. We've listed them in the order they appeared in the video to help you find the right items quickly. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
