Prespawn A-Rig Fishing With BONUS Tricks To Get More Bites!

Come along on Clearlake for an evening of A-rig fishing! Matt has found a school of aggressive prespawn bass that are feeding heavily in the shallow, muddy water. As Matt catches fish he begins explaining how the fish are positioning, why they're there, and modifications he makes to his A-rigs and retrieve to get more bites in the Spring.

Since the Alabama Rig stormed onto the bass fishing scene it has been at the center of endless controversy. Whether you love it or hate it, anglers can all agree that it is incredibly effective on prespawn bass. In today's video the effectiveness is seen yet again but Matt goes in depth on how the fish are positioning, swimbait color selection, and most importantly, how to twitch and pop the rig to imitate scattering baitfish. Once you've learned to twitch the rig properly you can unfold its full bite-triggering potential. 

Below is a breakdown of the exact equipment he's using in the video. We've also included budget equipment options and a few of his other favorite rigs and gear for this fun Spring technique!
