Two Baits Matt Trusts To Catch Bass When Fishing Gets Tough!
Matt is exploring a new lake today and we’re going along for the ride! He catches a ton of beautiful Smallmouth, but not the way he’s anticipating! What starts out as a crisp morning on the water quickly turns into a wind blown mess, thankfully Matt has a backup plan for these conditions. He turned to two key baits to get the bites and in no time, the fish start biting!
We all have confidence baits. Maybe it’s a crankbait that gets bit during a certain week in Spring, or perhaps it’s a senko color that never fails you. For us, when tough conditions arrive in the Fall, the 3” Spark Shad and a Micro Rig, can turn any day around.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. From the specific colors of the Spark Shad, to the rod and reel combos that landed the fish, its all included. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
