How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! ** Amazing Underwater Footage **

Want to become a better fisherman? There is no better way than to head underwater and study bass behavior! Come along as Tim teaches how to get the most out of plastic worms while studying actual underwater footage of bass eating ned rigs and dropshot worms.

We learn a ton about bass behavior when we head underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. Pay close attention to Tim's tips on hook weight and how much action to give your worm, based on the water temp and season you're fishing. Also, you'll notice in the underwater shots that no two baits are created equal so focus your attention on baits with neutral buoyancy and consistent action.

Below you'll find links to some of our favorite baits from each category. We've included our best colors, as well as our preferred rigging components. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

These Baits Catch Fish When The Bite Is Terrible! ( Winter Bass Fishing )

Come along for a fun Winter day on the water! We're throwing the new Tactical Micro Flex Rig, plus a bunch of other great cold water baits! The conditions aren't perfect but we know exactly what it takes to get these bass to bite. If you've wondered how to catch bass consistently in the cold, especially on the tough days, this one is for you!

We love to focus on the good days, when the conditions are cooperating and the bass are biting. However, those aren't always the conditions we face. Sometimes its clear skies, post frontal conditions, heavy winds, and cold water. When bass don't want to bite, these are the baits we turn to! If you haven't heard about our Micro flex rig yet, this is what it's made for!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included all the Rig components, swimbaits, colors, and any other relevant details. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

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.
