Prespawn Bass Fishing! New Megabass Karashi 80, Chatterbaits, And Spring Swimbaits!

Jump in the boat with Tim and Matt for an AMAZING day of bass fishing! The guys are dialing in a prespawn pattern that is WIDE OPEN! They catch a ton of fish, they catch BIG bass, and they catch them a lot of really fun ways! From the brand new Megabass Karashi 80, to the Chatterbait, Lipless Crankbait, A–Rigs, and more! What a day!

The prespawn is all about locating groups of fish. Covering water quickly is key to success. The more water you cover, the higher your odds of locating active schools of bass. From there, we rely on key baits to locate and target the bigger prespawn bass that are staging up. Today was an awesome example of how fun the Spring can be!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've included the exact colors for the baits, rigging components, as well as the rod and reel combos that fished the baits effectively.
