BUYER'S GUIDE: SPINNERBAITS, SPINNERBAIT TRAILERS, AND GEAR!

Today's buyers guide is all about spinnerbaits! We're eliminating 90% of this giant category and focusing on the baits that get bit most often! Size, blade type, color, and trailer are all important factors when choosing the right spinnerbait. Come along as we take a quick dive into some of the best spinnerbaits on the market!

Spinnerbait options can leave the most seasoned angler confused! Different shapes, sizes, and blade configurations all impact the effectiveness of your bait. Today we're focused on baits that run flat, track true, and fish well when paired with simple trailers. In other words, we're making spinnerbait selection EASY!

Below you'll find links to the baits and gear in the order we discussed them. We've included our favorite sizes, weights, and colors for each and all the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.

BUYER'S GUIDE: UNIQUE A–RIGS, ALABAMA RIGS, RIGGING TRICKS, AND GEAR!

Today we're covering new innovations that completely change Alabama Rig Fishing! From lightweight rigs you can cast with BFS gear, to completely clear rigs, there are unique offerings in this category that will take the wariest Anti–Rig fisherman, and give them something to consider.

Alabama Rigs are an amazing tool to target big, lethargic fish. The way bass react to this schooling presentation is unlike any other lure. The downside of these rigs is how cumbersome they are to cast and retrieve! We've worked hard to develop rigs that are comfortable to fish, durable, and effective.

Below you'll find links to the exact rigs, baits, and components discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
