Spring Buyer's Guide: Rain Gear, Sun Gear, and Sunglasses For Fishing!

You asked for it and today its finally happening! Our rain gear and apparel buyer's guide is here! From light rain gear, to cold weather suits, to sun gear and sunglasses, we're taking a deep dive into apparel for bass fishing. If you've ever wondered what we wear, or what the differences are between the suits, this video is for you!

Rain gear is a necessity for every bass fisherman, but its also a huge investment. The wrong suit brings serious disappointment! When it comes to sun gear and sunglasses the results can be even more serious. We're all trying to protect ourselves from burns, damaged skin, and skin cancer. Are you sure your apparel is really protecting you? 

We've had years to dial in the gear we use and today we're finally answering everyone's questions. Below you'll find links to the exact apparel we wear on and off the water. All the links go directly to the items on Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed images and descriptions. If you have any additional questions leave them in the comments section and we'll do our best to help you.

Spring Buyer's Guide: Worms, Creatures, Neds, Tubes, and Swimbaits!

In video #4 of our Spring Buyer's Guide Series we're talking soft baits for Bass! Stick baits, curly tail worms, Neds, creatures, tubes, swimbaits, and more! We took the main bait categories for Spring, then assembled our favorite baits for each. These are baits you can rely on the next time you hit the water. 

Walk into any tackle shop and there are walls and walls of soft plastics. With 1000s of soft baits on the market, its impossible to know where to start. From a distance its overwhelming but if we focus on each style of bait, we can easily narrow it down to a few key baits that catch the majority of the fish.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits shown in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each to help you make the best selections. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the different baits.
