Summer Gear Review! Best Soft Baits, Hard Baits, And Tackle From ICAST 2023!

ICAST 2023 was awesome! Here are the "best of the best" baits and tackle from the show! We had a blast checking out all the new gear! From Bait Finesse to big swimbaits, there was a ton of of exciting new gear on display. We've spent every day since buying and testing as much gear as possible and today we're taking an in-depth look at the "best of the best"!

It's easy to get caught up in the hype when you're at ICAST. Even watching the coverage from home can be dangerous to your wallet. In reality, you really don't know what you're getting until someone puts time on the water with the gear and cuts through the hype. We've been hard at work doing exactly that, and can't wait to show you some of this gear!

This ICAST was more impressive than most! There were so many awesome new products on display that we had to break this gear review into multiple segments.

FINESSE TOPWATER and BFS! ( This Topwater Hack Is The Real Deal )

Ready to take your topwater fishing to the next level? This is the way! Whether you're ready to jump on the BFS band wagon or not, learning to adapt smaller topwater baits into your arsenal will elevate your game. In recent years we've seen micro jigs, micro cranks, now we're realizing the benefits of micro topwater.

It's amazing how bass fishing trends come and go. For a long time it was bigger and bigger baits, and while swimbaits will forever have a place in the arsenal, the pendulum is swinging toward smaller profiles for most applications. Due partially to the success of bait finesse in the US market, companies are beginning to bring more smaller topwater profiles to market. As anglers, we're reaping the rewards of this trend and you can too!

Below you'll find links to all the baits Tim discussed in the video, as well as a few others that have really done well for us this year. We've also included some of Tim's favorite BFS combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
