Spring Swimbait Fishing For Bass: Everything You Need To Know!
Early Spring is prime time to throw the big baits! As we begin the transition into the prespawn, a swimbait is a key player in every serious bass fisherman's arsenal. Whether you're trying to catch better quality fish or you're hunting for the biggest bass of your life, swimbaits need to be part of your plan. Come along as we take an in-depth look at swimbait fishing for Spring bass!
"Swimbaits" is a giant category of lures and can be incredibly overwhelming. In order to simplify the conversation we've separated the baits into soft baits and hard baits. In the soft bait category we further divide the baits into Wedge-tail baits and boot-tail baits. For hard baits we separate them into multi-joint baits, open water glide baits, and cover glide baits. By doing this we can focus in on the handful of baits in each category that produce consistent results through the country.
Below you'll find links to all the baits in today's video. We've also included a favorite color or two with each. Additionally, we included our favorite swimbait combo as well as some great budget options. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
