The "Must Have" Baits For Spring Bass Fishing! (Boat And Shore Fishing)
We're tired of the cold... let's talk about Spring Bass Fishing! Early Spring fishing creeps up every year, make sure you're prepared! We all know Spring is a great time to be on the water, but what should you be gearing up to get ready? These are the "must have" lures for any serious angler that wants to catch big bass this coming Spring, whether you're on a boat, a kayak, or walking the shore!
Spring is all about covering water to locate schools of bass. If you're fishing too slowly, the odds of finding these mega schools drops significantly. With that in mind, all our top baits focus on covering water. Most of these baits "trigger" a feed response in a bass, but we've also included a few for the shore bound angler who may have less available spots to fish.
Below you'll find links to each of the baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors and sizes for each, as well as a couple budget friendly rod and reel combos to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
