Matt's Two-Bait Trick To Catch Big Bass In Fall!

Matt catches a GIANT BASS while exploring a new lake! Come along for an awesome day of Fall bass fishing! Matt didn't know what to expect as he started the day targeting quality Largemouth, but after making a run to the open water, he discovered an amazing Smallmouth bite as well!

The Fall is an amazing time to be on the water. As temperatures drop, fish begin feeding heavily. During this window, any cast can connect you with the fish of a lifetime. Today, Matt used a combination of a Duo Realis Spinbait 80, and a Megabass Vision 110 Jerkbait, to target big bass.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, gear, and terminal tackle. We've included the exact rods and reels, as well as any upgrades Matt made to the baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Early Summer Bass Fishing Tricks! (Incredible Swimbait Fishing!)

Come along for a fun day on the water! Tim is on a road trip through the North and picked a random lake off the map. Watch how he builds several unique patterns and catches a ton of beautiful largemouth and smallmouth on everything from a swimbait to a spy bait!

This is such a fun time of year to be on the water! You can catch fish a variety of ways, as illustrated by Tim's fishing today. When the conditions dictated, Tim caught a bunch of quality fish on the Megabass Magdraft. After a front blew through, he turned to a jerkbait and a spy bait to keep his bite alive. It just goes to show you, if you keep a rod in your hand, you never know what will bite!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, sizes, and bait modifications, along with the rod and reel combos he used to fish them effectively.
