Wakebait Fishing For Bass! (Everything You Need To Know)
BIG Wakebaits Catch BIG Bass! Today We're going to show you how to fish them! From the basics of retrieves and lure shapes, to advanced details on bait design, we're breaking down all the details of fishing with big topwater for bass. Whether you like to throw a lipped Wake, a multi joint, a rat, or giant walking bait, these are the details you need to know!
Very few baits are capable of catching bass in both Summer and Winter, around cover or open water, which makes it even more amazing that wakebaits are largely overlooked by many anglers. It's time for that to change! Let's start with a look at the River2Sea Tactical Wake 210, but we won't stop there. Next we're looking at stand out baits from around the industry.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Matt discussed in the video. He's also included his favorite rod and reel combos for fishing these baits effectively, along with his favorite hook upgrades. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
