Swimbait Tips For Early Spring Bass Fishing!

SWIMBAIT FISHING IS EASY! If you've ever wanted to give it a try, we're going to show you everything you need to know. Most anglers want you to believe its difficult but besides a few little tricks, there isn't much to it. Understanding when and where to fish these baits, as well as which baits to throw in different situations, will make it even easier to catch a giant bass!

Today Tim breaks down the differences between lure designs and actions, and how they fit different conditions. Once you've got the basics it really does come down to just going fishing. You can catch a giant swimbait fish this year if you commit to it! 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, sink rates, and colors where applicable. We've also included some great rod and reel combos to help you land that trophy fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
