Topwater Walking Baits For Bass! Full Seminar ( Beginner To Advanced )

Are you using topwater baits to their full potential?! We all love topwater, but if you have a favorite bait or two and never give it any more thought, you're in for a surprise! There's more to this category than most anglers realize. Today Matt is diving deep into the world of walking topwater baits.

Topwater walking baits should be broken into multiple categories. You have cigar style baits, pencil poppers, subtle baits, silent baits, as well as different hook arrangements. And truth be told, they all have a time and place in your fishing. Gone are the days of having a "favorite bait" and hoping for the best. Matt is explaining how to dial in your bite, regardless of the conditions.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt discussed in the video. We've included his favorite colors and sizes for each, hook upgrades, as well as great rod and reel combos for fishing these baits effectively, regardless of your budget.
