Fall Jerkbait Fishing! ( Beginner To Advanced – Full Seminar )

Jerkbait fishing is one of the best techniques an angler can learn! The jerk bait's ability to trigger a feed response in a bass puts it in a category that few other lures achieve. However, the true potential of a jerkbait is only unlocked when an angler understands the subtle nuances of these incredible lures, and that's what we're teaching you today!

The speed of your retrieve cadence, lure color, lure depth, and many other factors impact your ability to catch jerkbait fish. This is a technique that can take your fishing to a whole new level, but it requires a strict attention to detail.

Below we're breaking out our favorite baits by category and style. We've included our favorite colors for each (subtle and bold) and also included our favorite rod and reel combos for the presentation. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Top Baits For Post Spawn Bass Fishing (May and June)

What lures should you fish with right now? How do you catch bass after they spawn? We've got you covered! Last week we taught you how bass transition after the spawn as they shift toward their Summer haunts. Today we're taking an in–depth look out our confidence baits for this same time period. Whether you fish shallow or deep, these are the baits we trust. 

This time of year can be amazing because bass tend to congregate. When you locate them it can be fish after fish for hours! Understanding where the fish position is one piece of the puzzle, knowing which baits to fish confidently is the remaining piece. Today Tim is covering his favorite baits for post spawn bass fishing in a variety of different situations. From muddy water to clear, deep to shallow, these are the baits he uses throughout the coming months. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim discussed in the video. We've also included some of our favorite budget friendly combos for these techniques. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehousehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
