The FORGOTTEN Lure You Need To TRY! (Epic Day Of Old School Bass Fishing!!)

We're spending an entire day fishing an old school technique that has all but been forgotten! Come along for an awesome day of grubbing for Smallmouth in a clear water fishery! We're swimming grubs on light line and even adapting it to modern BFS gear for even more fun!!

The single tail grub is about as retro as it gets. Young anglers have no idea how to do it, older anglers around about to wonder why they stopped using them! The concept is simple, the gear is cheap, and the fish catching ability is amazing! Let's go grubbing!

Below you'll find links to the grubs and other gear we used throughout the day. We've included all our favorite colors, sizes, components, etc... as well as the rod and reel combos we fished them with.

Summer Crankbaits That Keep Catching Fish During The Fall Transition!

The Fall transition is crankbait time! Today we're taking a quick look at some of the best baits for fishing through the transition as we approach Fall. As night time temperatures begin to drop, bass focus heavily on bait fish and these baits will help you capitalize! The best news is, this time of year doesn't require new baits, we'll show you how to adapt some of the baits you've already been fishing.

If you're not fishing crankbaits during this transition time, you're missing some of the easiest fish catches of the year. Bass are targeting baitfish from deep to shallow and covering water with a crankbait is an easy way to catch them. Focus your attention on baitfish colors with the occasional shad pattern mixed in, for the best success.

Soft Jerkbait Tricks You Need To Try! (Plus Underwater Fluke Fishing Footage)

There may be no better bait to target aggressive bass than a fluke! You can fish it quickly as a topwater, twitch it as a jerkbait, slow fish it like a weightless worm, and even Carolina rig it! The soft jerkbait's ability to adapt puts it in a close of its own! This bait should be in every angler's late season arsenal and today we're going to show you how to adapt it to your lake's conditions.

Most anglers fish a soft jerkbait but few realize its true potential. With a simple hook adjustment this bait can become a topwater. With another adjustment you can suddenly throw it with the lightest of tackle, or the heaviest of gear. It can be Texas rigged in heavy cover, nose hooked in clear water, or be "donkey rigged" and fished around active bass. Most anglers use the Fluke but few know how to keep fishing eating it day after day.

Below you'll find links to the all the baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and rigging components for each. We've also included some of our favorite soft jerkbait combos for the different rigging methods.

The BEST Technique You've NEVER Heard Of!

The Spiral Bait has been working for decades and guys are finally finding out! Maybe you've heard all the hype surrounding the Hover Rig, well you're about to find out that this method (in one form or another) has been winning money in the West for a long time!

With word spreading about the hover rig, the cat is out of the bag on this old Western tournament technique. The key to the spiral bait is the "death spiral." Learning to adjust each bait to get a wide death spiral will allow fish more time to approach the bait before it hits bottom. This technique works and it's finally getting the coverage it deserves.

Below you'll find links to the both the simple rigging method, as well as some of the modern solutions to creating a proper death spiral. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
