The FORGOTTEN Lure You Need To TRY! (Epic Day Of Old School Bass Fishing!!)

We're spending an entire day fishing an old school technique that has all but been forgotten! Come along for an awesome day of grubbing for Smallmouth in a clear water fishery! We're swimming grubs on light line and even adapting it to modern BFS gear for even more fun!!

The single tail grub is about as retro as it gets. Young anglers have no idea how to do it, older anglers around about to wonder why they stopped using them! The concept is simple, the gear is cheap, and the fish catching ability is amazing! Let's go grubbing!

Below you'll find links to the grubs and other gear we used throughout the day. We've included all our favorite colors, sizes, components, etc... as well as the rod and reel combos we fished them with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

This Two Bait Approach Catches Late Summer Bass!

Come along with the guys for a late evening bass fishing session! They're targeting bass around docks and timber, and they've developed a perfect 1 –2 punch for catching these fish. They have two patterns going at the same time and when the bass won't eat one, they eat the other!

We all love throwing topwater this time of year. And if you've jumped on the "Karashi" train lately, then you already know that is one of the most amazing bites you'll ever experience! But a trick we've learned for late Summer is that fishing these baits in tandem (one angler throwing one, one angler throwing the other) really seems to ignite these fish and we can catch almost every fish we get near.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits used in the video. We've also included some of the key combos we were using, especially the Karashi combo where the right setup makes all the difference in how the bait moves in the water.

The Tube Fishing Trick Nobody Knows! This Really Is The Deal!!

Tubes are the forgotten lure! The Tube shouldn't just be back in your arsenal, it should be front and center as we head toward Summer! We have some key tricks that we use with tubes to take them from being a great bait, to an almost magical fish producer. You don't want to miss this!

So many anglers used to catch fish with a tube,  or tube jig, but have stopped throwing it. Most never realized the bait's true potential before slowly forgetting about it. Today we're going to fix that! Matt starts with the basics of how to catch bass with tubes but it isn't long before he gives up the key that makes a tube a better bait then nearly every other finesse presentation!

Below you'll find links to all the baits, heads, and gear Matt discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors where applicable as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
