Underspins And Finesse Swimbait Tricks For Late Spring And Early Summer!

Some Swimbaits are way better than others, how do you know the difference?! Today we're comparing how different swimbaits move in the water, and when they will catch fish. We're also looking at how different head styles impact action, and when to use them. If you're tired of being confused, we're about to answer all your questions!

Finesse swimbaits are awesome! They catch large numbers of fish, and they catch giants too! It wasn't long ago that there were only 2 styles of finesse swimbait on the market... today it can take up an entire row at your local shop. So what's the deal? Which baits should you be using? And does that answer change throughout the year? Let's find out!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and heads Tim discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each, as well as some of our favorite combos for fishing these lures. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Summer Bass Fishing: Crankbait VS Underspin!

Come along for an amazing day of Summer Bass Fishing! Matt finds multiple schools of fish with crankbaits and underspins, then hooks an absolute GIANT that tests the limits of an ultralight BFS rod! From Bait Finesse to deep diving crankbaits, this is a great day on the water!

This time of year there are so many great ways to catch bass. If you look at the front deck of Matt's boat, you'll notice he starts out with 12 different rods so he can adapt to changing conditions. However, it doesn't take long to realize the underspin swimbait and deep diving crankbaits will be the main fish catchers all day long.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, sizes, hook upgrades for the baits, and even the apparel he used to hide from the blistering sun.
