Early Spring Tackle Review! The Best New Baits And Gear For 2024!

These are the hottest new items in bass fishing for 2024! We've been testing a variety of new gear the past few months and these are the clear stand outs! From the new Shimano SLX A 70 Casting Reel, to new underspin colors, and a variety of baits, these are the best new items we've found! Let's take a look!

This is our 1st gear review of 2024 and we couldn't be more excited! There were a lot of late Fall launches this year and we've been busily testing gear throughout the Winter. Most baits didn't make the cut but there are a few standouts that do. These new Swammer sizes are clear winners, these new Strolling options are must haves, and if you're looking to protect your rods, the Rod Glove Tournament Series is the most affordable options we've found.

Below you'll find links to all our favorite gear that was featured in this video. We've listed them in the order they appeared, and included all relevant information on favorite colors, sizes, etc. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

WHEN BASS ATTACK!!! Incredible Underwater Footage Of Bass Striking Lures!

Come underwater and watch how bass interact with your lures! From the sheer speed of a largemouth, to the aggressiveness of schooling fish, let's take a look at the world below the surface of your local lakes! Some of these fish are stalking their prey, others are defensive, and others are reacting to movement. It's amazing what we can learn!

In today's footage we're watching bass in a variety of situations. From topwater to jigs, swimbaits to creatures, these bass are aggressive! Some of them stalk their prey, others ambush. Some are brutal hunters while others nip at passing food. There is so much to be learned from each of these clips.

19 Degrees But The Bass Are Biting! Come Fishing With Us!!

Come along for a FREEZING day on the water! The air temperatures are 19 degrees, water temperatures are 40 degrees, but the bass are still feeding! If you've ever wondered how to fish in the cold, what to wear, and how to protect your boat, we're covering all of it!

We're focused on power fishing techniques today and it pays off, despite the cold! Frigid temperatures don't mean that you have to slow down. Reaction bites can still be had if you focus on key baits. The guys are throwing very specific baits, looking for very specific conditions, and it matters when temperatures begin to plunge.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were fishing with. We've included details about the exact sizes and colors for each bait, as well as the rod and reel combos we used to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
