Underspin Tips For Early Summer Bass + A Secret Topwater Bait!

Come along for a fun day on the water! It wasn't supposed to rain, but that's okay! It doesn't take long for Matt to dial in an awesome pattern, targeting bass with a combination of topwater and underspins. He breaks down where the fish are positioning, why they're there, and shows exactly how to catch them.

The underspin should never be overlooked! Today, Matt highlights its effectiveness around schooling fish. The fish are keyed in on shad, and the topwater and underspin used in tandem, are the perfect combination to catch these fish. Watch as Matt dials in bait size, swimbait action, and location, to maximize his time on the water.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included his exact colors, sizes, and other pertinent information. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
