3 Underwater Lessons To Help You Catch More Bass!

Dive below the surface with us as we study the behavior of bass in their natural surroundings! There is so much to be learned when we watch how bass interact in their natural environment. Subtle details in their behavior quickly emerge, even before we begin to present lures to them. Today Tim is sharing 3 keys that he has learned through years of filming underwater footage that will help you become a better angler.

The average angler never considers their direct impact on the environment around them. They stomp around the boat, talk loudly, start and stop their motor, all without a second thought. The truth is, all of these choices have real impacts below the surface. Bass are keenly aware of their surrounds. Subtle changes in shadows, sounds, or vibrations, can be enough to shut fish down. If you want to be a more consistent angler, remember these 3 key takeaways this Spring...

•Be As Quiet As Possible

•Downsize Your Baits For Consistent Bites

•Cast As Far As Possible To Mask Your Presence

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim discussed in the video. We've also included both a budget–friendly Spinning Combo and budget–friendly BFS combo for fishing these smaller presentations effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
