With this selection of baits you're able to cover every bass fishing scenario that fall fishing can throw your way. Whether the fish are up shallow in docks and timber or out in the scattered grass, tullies, and bull rushes, you'll have lures to reach and trigger the bass into biting. 

Use the glidebait, swimbaits, and reaction baits to locate schooling fish but once you've found them slow down with the squarebill crankbait, jig, and lipless crankbait to capitalize on the schooling bass. 

Once you've located a school of fish the key is to use the smaller bass to "trigger" the big bass into biting. When large bass are alone you're relying on your ability to fool them into biting but once they join a school they become very susceptible to the excitement of the group. Get a small bass to bite and you may be amazed to find the next bite will come from a very agressive, very big bass. 

We hope you can use these tips to help you catch more big bass this Fall! We know the seasons are changing and the bass are following suit but this is prime time to catch a GIANT BASS so head out to the lake and get a school fired up!

The EASIEST Trick To Catch More Fish!

This trick is how guides and professional anglers catch more fish than everyone else.  Understanding how rod deflection works will instantly transform you from a decent angler to an amazing angler! Its so simple, anyone can do it! 

The key to this method is to establish how much rod deflection your lure is causing. Once you have the baseline established you're literally just watching for a change in deflection. It doesn't matter how sensitive the rod is because this is purely a visual indicator. 

If you begin using this method you will instantly begin catching more fish. Its so simple, anyone can do this and it makes all the difference!
