How To Find Bass In A Shallow Lake! ( Breaking Down A New Lake )

Come along as we explore a new lake! As Tim drops the trolling motor in a lake with no map, he immediately realizes he's faced with giant shallow flats and endless grass. How will he break it down? Where will he start? Come along as he puts the pieces together and catches a nice limit on a new lake!

Tim's first move in a new lake was to target visible cover. If this had worked, his day would have been easy. Unfortunately, bass weren't on visible cover (this is common). Once he realized the bass were in the grass he started to grind, looking for grass edges, pockets, and openings. Anything "different" from the expansive grass as key to his bites.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

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.

Chatterbait Fishing Made Easy! ( Spring Bass Fishing Tricks )

If you want to catch more bass, you need these chatterbait tips! Bladed jigs catch a ton of fish, and giant fish too! By changing trailers you can get a chatterbait to mimic shad, panfish, crawfish, and a variety of other prey species. Chatterbaits can be a deep rabbit hole but today our goal is to simplify. Let's take a look at the best baits, trailers, and gear to help you catch more fish!

The chatterbait is incredibly versatile once you learn to adapt your trailers and retrieves. We use 4 main trailers paired to 4 different chatterbaits to meet every situation we face. The chatterbait can remain a simple option in your arsenal, or you can start adapting retrieves from a high speed burn, to a popping retrieve, to a bottom hopping presentation, to take it to a whole different level! It's up to you, but either way you need to commit to the chatterbait this Spring.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, trailers, and gear discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and styles for every option. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How Does Your Jig Compare? **UNDERWATER FOOTAGE of Jigs and Jig Trailers**

Come underwater and watch how different lures move underwater! We throw a ton of compact micro jigs so today we're comparing the best jig trailers we've found. Come below the surface into crystal clear water and see if you can find a favorite trailer that will help you catch more fish this year!

Check out how unique each of these trailers is, so you can easily pick the best option for where you're fishing. Whether you're focused on movement, profile, or realism, there's a trailer here that will help you catch fish.
