Power Fishing VS Finesse Fishing: Finding Bass In A New Lake!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! Matt, Tim, and JD are exploring a new lake and they're taking you along for the fun! Watch as they find two distinct patterns... one with a big swimbait, and the other with small finesse baits. Both options prove to be very effective as they cover water in search of quality bass in this new lake!

Breaking down new water can be overwhelming. It's hard to know where to start or what to throw. Today the guys came out with a plan; cover as much water as possible! With this approach in mind they tied on everything from a swimbait, to a chatterbait, to a spy bait. It didn't take long to start getting bit and before long, they'd developed a wide open pattern for catching quality largemouth!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the day. We included details on bait sizes and colors, hook upgrades, as well as the rod and reel combos they used to fish the baits effectively.
