Mini Underspins + Other Early Spring Tricks For Big Bass!

Get ready for a 31+ lb limit of bass with a spinning rod! Come along for an awesome day on the water! Matt is searching for prespawn bass that are moving into the shallows but what he finds is staging fish that are ready to eat! This is an action packed day full of big fish on light tackle!

Typically when we catch 30+ lbs we do it with a swimbait. Today all but 2 of the fish were caught on spinning rods with a mini underspin and a mid strolling bait. These fish were fired up and ready to feed but it took 3 hours for Matt to figure it out. Reading the conditions and being willing to adapt are critical elements of success on the water!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors and sizes for the baits, along with the exact rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
