Top 5 Baits For July Bass Fishing!

Here are the top 5 baits we trust to catch bass in July! We're entering the HOTTEST month of the year but don't let that stop you, the fishing is amazing! You can fish these 5 (Its actually 10... but who's counting?) baits with confidence whether you're walking the shore of a pond, exploring a clear water reservoir, or flipping your way through a shallow Southern fishery. 

July brings the hottest days of the year and with them, very predictable patterns. Bass become more lethargic in the heat and spend much of the day tucked against cover or structure. Once you know where to look (we're going to explain that too) all you have to do is fish these baits with confidence. You can catch fish all Summer long and we're going to help you do it!

Below you'll find links to all 10 baits discussed in the video, separated into their two categories. We'll give you two bait choices in every category so you can decide between the most affordable option or the top-shelf option. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Big Worms For Summer Bass - Everything You Need To Know!

Bass love eating big worms! It doesn't matter if they're Texas-rigged, Carolina-rigged, or fished on a shaky head; bass can't resist them. Best of all, you can fish them on gear you already own! Come along as we take an in-depth look at the different styles of plastic worms and how to apply them to your bass fishing this Summer. 

If you've ever stood back and looked at the worms on the wall of a tackle shop you know just how overwhelming it can be! Where do you start? Why are there so many different tails? And what are all these different colors for?! Don't worry, its really not that complicated. Even with hundreds of worms on the pegs you can narrow it down to just a handful of shapes, a couple key rigs, and a few colors. In a few short minutes you'll be prepared to throw big worms with confidence. 

Below you'll find links to our favorite worms from all the different brands. We've included color recommendations for each worm and favorite rigging options as well. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've also included links to our favorite rod/reel combos at different budgets for throwing these bigger worms.

Summer Gear Review! Topwater, Crankbaits, Jigs, and Soft Plastics!

Let's see what's new! We've been testing a variety of new baits and today we're showing the best of the best! We've got a unique topwater, new frogs, crankbaits, swimbaits, and more. Summer is a great time to catch fish and there are some great new designs available to help you do just that. Some of today's baits are great improvements on existing designs, while others are truly unique creations. Let's take a look!

To kick it off we've got 3 topwater lures. The first is a custom approach to front runners that is going to help a lot of anglers catch schooling bass. After that we've got the complete redesign of the the Snagproof line of frogs, and finally a new size in the Spro Bronzeye series. 

For crankbaits we've got the Jackall Digle which takes a familiar Jackall shape and couples it with an awesome bill that will let the bait go anywhere. Next is a giant crankbait that reaches ultra-deep but fishes comfortably on mid-sized gear. 

From there we've got a new twist on the Savage Gear bluegill, a true handmade finesse jig, and a very unique soft plastic to round out the group. You'll find links to all the products list below. We've included our favorite colors, sizes, and rigging components when relevant. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Summer Frog Fishing On Chickamauga!

Come along for an awesome frog bite! We're fishing Chickamauga on a hot, humid day and the bass are smashing topwater! Watch as Tim builds a pattern, uses river current to his advantage, and switches between frogs to catch as many fish as possible. 

Chick has seen an incredible amount of pressure this Spring. With a seemingly unending list of tournaments, Tim opted to fish from his kayak instead of the bass boat. It allowed him to reach deep into backwaters where bass boats can't reach and target fish that are far less pressured. His strategy paid off as he found plenty of fish willing to attack his frogs!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Tim was using. We've included the lure colors, rods, reels, and even the kayaks. All the bait and gear links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. The kayak links go directly to the Old Town company website where you can see detailed specs on the kayaks.
