Reaction Baits come in finesse?? That's right!! When the bite gets tough, we fish finesse baits, but that doesn't mean slowing down! Come along as Matt fishes finesse swimbaits, jerkbaits, crankbaits, and topwater, for Summer bass that are chasing micro bait!

Turning to finesse presentations doesn't have to be boring. You can still "power fish" but with a much smaller offering. Pay close attention as Matt explains how these different bait profiles help him catch more fish, and under what conditions he throws them. From small flukes, to tiny topwater, there is a finesse presentation that will help you catch more fish as Summer comes to an end.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt used and discussed in the video. We've included the rigging components as well as our favorite colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

We had a blast at ICAST checking out all the new gear! From big swimbaits to tiny micro baits, there were a ton of of exciting new baits released at the show! We ourselves launched 3 new bait projects and have been busy fishing and experimenting with all kinds of new gear after the show! Today we're taking an in-depth look at the "best of the best" that really stood out to us after listening to what the brands had to say, then actually going out on the water and spending time with the gear.

Its easy to get caught up in the hype when you're at ICAST. Even watching the coverage from home can be dangerous to your wallet. In reality, you really don't know what you're getting until someone puts time on the water with the gear and cuts through the hype. We've been hard at work doing exactly that, and can't wait to show you some of this gear!

From rods and reels, to swimbaits and topwater, we've been experimenting with as much gear as possible! Below you'll find links to each item discussed in the video. We've included favorite models, sizes, and colors where applicable, and all the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.
