Underspin Tricks You Haven't Tried Yet! (But You Need To)

Underspins work! Paired with a swimbait they bring more flash, more vibration, and unique colors that fool bass into biting. If you fish for bass in Spring and you don't have an underspin in the mix, you're probably getting out fished by someone who does! We have some little tricks we use to make our underspins even better and today Tim is giving it up!

First you have to understand the differences between the different underspins and what they're for. After that you get a feel for which swimbaits to pair them to in different situations. Once you've got that down you're a very proficient under spin fisherman and its time to start playing with blades and stinger hooks. 

Below you'll find links to the baits, heads, blades, and hooks that we use. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

BUYER'S GUIDE: Chatterbaits, Spinnerbaits, and Best Trailers!

Today's buyers guide is all about the spinnerbait and chatterbait. This is a huge category with a wide variety of baits and styles but we were able to easily narrow it down to key baits that you can rely on to catch fish throughout the year! These two staples belong in every angler's arsenal, here's what you need to know... 

Each of these categories could be their own buyer's guide but for the sake of time we've combined them. The chatterbait, or bladed jig, comes in dozens of versions but there are only a few that stand out from the crowd. The spinnerbait comes in a plethora of shapes, sizes, and blade configurations but also has a few key baits that stand above the rest.

Jerkbait Tips For Early Fall Bass Fishing! (Easy Tricks To Get More Bites)

The early Fall transition is jerkbait time! Bass are beginning to focus on baitfish again and there may be no better bait to trigger a reaction strike than a jerkbait. Virtually any jerkbait can get bit right now but there are key baits and key colors that can lead to the kinds of days on the water we all dream about!

Its important to understand that no two jerkbaits are created equal. Different baits have different applications and learning to use each bait at its best time will help you catch more fish.
