SPRING BUYER'S GUIDE: STROLLING FOR BASS ( Hover Rig, Mid Strolling, Moping, Damiki Rig )

Fishing finesse plastics on a jighead is taking over bass fishing! Here's what you need to know!! While this technique isn't new, advancements in forward facing sonar have caused a huge resurgence. However, you do not need electronics to fish these presentations effectively. They work equally well on offshore suspended bass as they do along the shore of a pond.

We're exploring the finesse technique known as "hover strolling", along with the power techniques known as "mid strolling" and "bottom strolling". Both are effective and after today, you'll understand how to apply them to your fishing, and which baits you should put the time into. Most of our Buyer's Guides are focused on baits and gear but today's also has an element of teaching in it, because so many anglers are struggling to understand this new (albeit old) fishing method.

Below you'll find links to all the gear the guys discussed in the video. We've separated it by category and 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.
