How To Bass Fish On A Budget! (Cheap Lures That ACTUALLY Work!!)

Bass fishing shouldn't break the bank! If your tackle spending is out of control, we've got you covered with some awesome "budget" alternatives that really catch fish! High-end tackle is nice (we know because we're tackle junkies!!!) but you can catch a ton of fish without going broke buying lures and gear. Come along with Tim as he shops both big box stores and local tackle shops to find the best budget options for bass. 

The key to buying budget tackle is to avoid the junk. A lot of cheap tackle isn't worth the packaging its hanging in, but there are exceptions. Today's video is all about those hidden gems that catch consistent fish despite their below-average price. Baits like the Super Spot crankbait, Yum Dinger, and Chatterbait, should be in everyone's arsenal, no matter where you live. Baits like the Dark Sleeper, Savage Gear Bluegill, etc... can take your fishing to the next level without costing a fortune. 

Below you'll find links to all the baits Tim discussed in the video. We're taking it to the next level and also including some "budget" and "ultra budget" rods and reels to help you keep your entire fishing game within your spending limits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
