BUYER'S GUIDE: STROLLING, JIG AND MINNOW, HEAD DESIGNS, AND RODS!

Fishing minnow plastics on a jighead continues to sweep bass fishing! Here's why! While this technique isn't new, advancements in forward facing sonar have caused a huge resurgence. That said, you DO NOT NEED ELECTRONICS to fish these presentations effectively! They work equally well on the shores of a pond, as they do for offshore suspended fish.

Today we're covering the most effective baits for "mid strolling" and "bottom strolling". Both methods are incredibly effective and after today, you'll understand how to apply them to your fishing. Every brand in the fishing industry is hustling to add a bait to this category, but there are key baits that stand out from the crowd and consistently catch fish in a variety of conditions.

Below you'll find links to all the gear the guys discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and equipment where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

BUYER'S GUIDE: UNIQUE A–RIGS, ALABAMA RIGS, RIGGING TRICKS, AND GEAR!

Today we're covering new innovations that completely change Alabama Rig Fishing! From lightweight rigs you can cast with BFS gear, to completely clear rigs, there are unique offerings in this category that will take the wariest Anti–Rig fisherman, and give them something to consider.

Alabama Rigs are an amazing tool to target big, lethargic fish. The way bass react to this schooling presentation is unlike any other lure. The downside of these rigs is how cumbersome they are to cast and retrieve! We've worked hard to develop rigs that are comfortable to fish, durable, and effective.

Below you'll find links to the exact rigs, baits, and components discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
