FUZZY BAITS?! Why This Is The HOTTEST Trend In Bass Fishing!!!

Bass fishing is constantly trending, but this "Fuzzy" trend is here to stay! We've been following closely the last few years to the Fuzzy Dice trend developing in the United States and are now watching it morph into other shapes and profiles. What started with unique Japanese baits shaped like dice and Kiosk balls, has now morphed into something much larger.

So what's the deal? Is it something you need to put your time into? Tim is laying it all out for you right now! If you haven't seen these baits yet they've been racking up tournament wins for a few years now and have recently caught the attention of main stream anglers. Depending on the brand you're looking at a cube or ball of plastic that is completely covered in soft tentacles. The final result is a "Koosh Ball" like appearance that seems out of place in the water. The key to this bait style comes when you impart action to the bait and all of the tentacles start moving on their own.

Below you'll find links to the more popular "Fuzzy" baits on the market. We've also included links to the parts Tim uses to build his own, as well as his preferred spinning combos for fishing them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
