Early Spring Bass Fishing! Chatterbait vs Underspin For Early Season Bass!

Jump in the boat with Tim for some early Spring bass fishing! A warming trend is moving through and Tim isn't missing the chance to catch fish without all the heavy Winter gear that he's been wearing for months. Take the ride with him as he enjoys the weather and dials in an awesome chatterbait bite!

Early Spring is all about locating staging fish. As Tim highlighted today, these fish are often concentrated in small areas. When you're around them, the fishing is amazing! However, if you make a wrong turn and lose track of the fish, the lake can feel empty. Don't be afraid to cover water until you locate quality fish, then catch as many as you can! Tim's primary bait today was the red chatterbait. The fish were knocking slack in his line as they battled to eat the bait first!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. We've included everything from the specific bait colors, to the rod and reel combos he used to fish the baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The Easiest Trick For Spring Bass Fishing! ( Why It Works )

RED and ORANGE baits catch BIG bass in the Spring! When water temperatures reach 50 degrees you should be reaching for a red bait to catch bigger bass! Whether your lake is crystal clear or chocolate milk, bass will attack red baits as they head into the pre-spawn. It can work with chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, squarebill crankbaits, and more!

The biggest issue with throwing these crawfish imitating baits is knowing exactly which color to throw. Some baits are neon orange, others are transparent red. So how do you know which ones to try? It all comes down to water color and conditions. Pay close attention as Matt explains how to use each color to your advantage and when to switch between them.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and sizes Matt discussed in the video. We've also included links to our favorite trailers and colors where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each lure.
