TacticalBassin's Latest Lure Design! (Collaboration Project)

Our latest lure design has come to life! The TacticalBassin Underspin Series is here! We launched the "Mini" underspin last year and it became an instant hit across the country. Today we're excited to announce the complete series of mid and full size underspins!

We partnered with Dirty Jigs Tackle for this project and the final results are everything we'd hoped! There are so many features packed into these new heads and we know they're going to help anglers like you catch more fish this year! From the downward facing hook keeper to the dropper arm length that pairs perfectly to all the popular swimbaits, our attention to detail with this project will be evident.

Underspins have incredible drawing power and our latest version has what it takes to land that giant bite! The hook is the perfect balance between strength and size, pairing perfectly to a variety of baits while maintaining a low profile. Below you'll find links to the entire underspin family, along with some of the rods we've found to fish the various hook sizes effectively.

Early Spring Tackle Review! The Best New Baits And Gear For 2024!

These are the hottest new items in bass fishing for 2024! We've been testing a variety of new gear the past few months and these are the clear stand outs! From the new Shimano SLX A 70 Casting Reel, to new underspin colors, and a variety of baits, these are the best new items we've found! Let's take a look!

This is our 1st gear review of 2024 and we couldn't be more excited! There were a lot of late Fall launches this year and we've been busily testing gear throughout the Winter. Most baits didn't make the cut but there are a few standouts that do. These new Swammer sizes are clear winners, these new Strolling options are must haves, and if you're looking to protect your rods, the Rod Glove Tournament Series is the most affordable options we've found.

NEW TacticalBassin Lure Design! THE MICRO FLEX RIG!!! **Full Review**

The "Tactical Micro Flex Rig" is finally here!! We've been prototyping, tweaking, modifying, and dialing in our final rig design! We've known from the day we launched the Hog Farmer Tactical Flex Rig years ago, that it would eventually become a series of rigs, designed to help anglers in EVERY situation. The time has come!

The new "Hog Farmer Tactical Micro Flex Rig" bridges the gap between traditional bass fishing, and A-Rig fishing. This compact, little rig is designed to fish with 2" to 3" swimbaits. It can be thrown on spinning gear, bait finesse gear, or traditional bass tackle. The days of being "beat up" by the Alabama Rig are over. We all know the effectiveness of these umbrella rigs but actually fishing them can be cumbersome. Slinging this micro rig is effortless! You can throw it day after day, even if you don't know how to use casting gear.

Below you'll find links to the brand new rigs, as well as to our favorite swimbaits, rod and reel combos, and storage solutions. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
