The EASIEST Trick For EARLY FALL Bass Fishing!

Want to catch more fish this Fall?! It's this easy!! The key is to stand out from the thousands of minnows, baitfish, and juvenile panfish in the shallows this Fall, is to add flash and vibration to your lure. We achieve this by adding additional blades to our lures. A simple will blade can add incredible flash and vibration that can instantly take your fishing to the next level!

We know this sounds too easy, but it's the truth! The simple addition of a blade not only adds flash and vibration, it causes other baitfish to stay away from your lure, leaving it in plain sight for the bass. Fall bass are generally feeding aggressively, they just need to notice your lure out of the thousands of real meals swimming around below the surface. Baits like underspins, spinnerbaits, and Alabama Rigs will give you the upper hand this Fall.

Below we'll link our favorite baits, favorite modifications and components, as well as some great budget–friendly combos for fishing these techniques effectively. 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.

Best Hooks For Bass Fishing: Senko, Worms, Crankbaits, Topwater, Swimbait!

So many hooks, so little time! Its taken us years (and hundreds of packs of hooks) to develop this short list of the best hooks for different situations. Whether you want to wacky rig a senko, punch a creature, or throw a deep diving crankbait, we've compiled this list for you! Not only do we cover hook styles, we also cover wire sizes, strength, etc... to perfectly match your fishing conditions. 

Tim starts off with reaction baits and wraps it up with soft plastics. The reason for this is most anglers lose fish on treble hook baits. Crankbaits and topwater are the primary heartbreakers in bass fishing. You think you've got that fish hooked well but when the head shakes start, you lose. Almost all of these losses can be avoided if you truly understand treble hooks. When to switch between styles, when to switch to heavier gauge wire, etc. 

Today's video is a lot for you to digest as an angler. We know Tim breezed through a ton of hooks in a short time but its the only way to cover all the information. Below is a detailed breakdown of the hooks in order of appearance in the video. If you click the links (they go direct to Tackle Warehouse) you will see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. This truly is a challenging year with store shelves around the country completely empty and mixed information on future shipments. We hope this video gives you the information you need to be successful throughout the Summer and Fall.
