3 Paddle Tail Swimbaits That Catch Fish In Tough Conditions + Road Trip Fishing!

Jump in the boat for a wild day on the water! Matt is on a road trip in the North and has no idea what he’s in for. What begins as a beautiful day on the water quickly spirals into a snow storm, but that doesn’t stop him from catching fish! Come along and see how he adapts to the changing conditions to catch some beautiful bass in ugly conditions.

Today is a great example of a natural Northern lake. There seem to be a ton of fish in the shallows that are willing to bite, but it takes some adapting to catch the bigger bass. Notice how Matt cycles through baits and locations to fine tune a pattern to catch the bigger fish, ultimately using the wind to his advantage.

Below you’ll find links to all the baits and gear he used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact rod and reel combos, the baits, as well as specifics on hooks and bait colors. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
