Catch The BIGGEST BASS Of Your Life Right NOW – New PB!

Now is the time to catch a GIANT Bass! This period leading to the full moon in June is a critical time for anyone that fishes for bass. We all dream of catching a new personal best (PB), this is the time to do it! The big post-spawn bass stage in anticipation of a big meal before heading to their Summer patterns and we’re going to show you EXACTLY how to CATCH them!

Today’s video is broken down into 4 parts. Depending on where you live and what stage your fish are in, you may want to focus on sight fishing for spawning bass, big soft swimbaits for post spawners, hard swimbaits to draw a reaction strike, or a big topwater in search of that aggressive bass looking for a huge meal before heading offshore. No matter which you choose, the next 2 weeks are critical with the bite culminating on the Full Moon on June 5th.

Below you’ll find a breakdown of all the baits Matt discussed in the video. We’ve included links that go directly to Tackle Warehouse so you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each bait. We’ve also included color recommendations, hook upgrades, and tuning tips where applicable.

***The Wild Willy is very affordable in the big bait category. It will perform better with some minor modifications. We Recommend the following upgrades to the Willy to get the best walk. First, upgrade Split Rings. Second, upgrade the rear treble hook to a larger, heavier hook. If a wider walk is preferred, add 6-8 sticky lead strips on the belly directly in front of the rear hook hanger. These upgrades will give you a phenomenal large walking bait at a very affordable price.***

Tackle Organization: How We Store Our Gear – New Ideas!

Its time for serious tackle organization! We’ve all been hit by this unexpected quarantine and we chose to make the best of it. Tim spent a few days dialing in his gear and he’s finally got it perfected. Want to get the maximum number of crankbaits in a small box? Want to mix senkos with hooks while avoiding any concerns of rust? Tired of your different hooks mixing together every time you run in rough water? This is for you!

Tim started playing with the Edge boxes when they first came out but it wasn’t until the quarantine that he really jumped in. The Edge Terminal box offered storage solutions unlike anything else. By individually compartmentalizing all his small hooks he has avoided the never-ending struggle of hooks mixing together. The box itself resists rust and was a no-brainer with all the free time to organize hooks. From there he began finding niches for all of his tackle storage needs.

Below is a breakdown of some of Tim’s favorite boxes for different techniques. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions. If you’ve been considering upgrading your tackle organization, we’re very happy with these boxes so far.

Senko Fishing Tricks! Beginner Senko Rigging To Advanced Fishing Tips

Senkos have a “right side up!” Few anglers realize there is a right and wrong way to rig them. This is just one of the many details Tim is covering in today’s in-depth look at bass fishing with a soft stick bait. He’ll cover the beginner rigging basics but also dive into advanced tricks that will help you refine your technique in different situations.

If you’re only going to fish a Senko once in a while, it should be the 5″. The standard 5″ senko has incredible fishing catching power all over the country. If you want to refine your fishing, target bigger fish, search for a key finesse bite, etc… there is a time and place for the other sizes and styles. Most anglers consider the senko a basic bait but they’re overlooking its value for big bass and power fishing.

Below is a breakdown of all the baits, hooks, and gear in the video. We’ve included color recommendations for each senko, hook sizes to match worm sizes, and more. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Bass Fishing: Finesse Tips For Fishing Crystal Clear Water!

Struggling to catch bass in crystal clear water? Come along with Tim for a day of clear water bass fishing. He shows the finesse baits he’s using and explains how he downsizes line to adapt to the water conditions. Pay close attention to his color selections and bait sizes as he lures fish into biting despite the tough conditions.

Tim’s first trick to catch clear water fish was to focus on shade pockets. Often the “last shade” in an area will have an active group of fish long after sunny areas have stopped biting. He used a ghost colored S-Waver then dropped down to a finesse head and smaller keitech to coax the bites.

Once the last shade faded away he turned his attention to fishing the “color line” along the shore where light penetration is limited by depth. The color line is an amazing place to find active fish under bright sunny conditions. Finally, after not getting the results he hoped for Tim moved ultra shallow into cover in search of afternoon bass in shady pockets near brush. Today he found those fish spawning but could have caught them a variety of ways under normal circumstances.

Below is a breakdown of the baits and equipment he used throughout the day. In addition to the exact baits we’ve included additional color recommendations that work great in clear water. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can find detailed pictures and descriptions of each item.

Underwater Sight Fishing – How To Catch More Fish!

Want to catch more fish? Come underwater and watch how these fish interact with our lures around their spawning beds! The fish are biting a jig, dropshot, texas rig, ned rig, and a variety of swimbaits! Whether you’re a beginner or advanced angler, pay close attention to the details about how to avoid short strikes and false bites if you want to become a better angler overnight.

During the spawn, bass are less motivated to feed than other periods. If you haven’t spent much time sight fishing start with this recent Sight Fishing Video to help you avoid common mistakes: https://youtu.be/3pJsNGdv9QM

Because bass are focused on spawning rather than feeding their habits change. They become more protective and aggressive but rarely fully engulf your lure. Knowing how to adapt color, size, and retrieve goes a long way to catching more fish. This is the time of year to catch a new personal best so pay close attention to the details in this video and apply them the next time you’re at the lake.

Cheap Lures That Actually Work! Save Money and Catch Fish!!

Fishing doesn’t have to be expensive! We love high-end tackle and JDM gear as much as the next tackle junkie but we also know there are some amazing budget options on the market. Many anglers can’t afford the top baits of today but with a little searching you can save money and still catch a TON of fish! Today we’ve comprised a list of our top 9 best budget-friendly baits for bass fishing.

Most of our videos are about dialing in your equipment to maximize your time on the water. We often throw budget to the wind and focus on the “best of the best”. Today we’re going the other direction… We’ve scoured our tackle and come up with a list of wallet-friendly baits that we have a ton of confidence in! We’ve caught countless fish on all but one of these offerings, even catching 10 lbers on that cheap Storm Sunfish!

Spring Underspin Tricks For Bass With Bonus Slab Crappie Catches!


Do you know how to adapt your underspin to changing conditions? Underspins catch big bass but when you should you throw a large offering instead of a tiny finesse underspin? When is a keitech better than the others? Come along for a full day on Clearlake as we read the water, adapt to changing conditions, and switch between a variety of underspins and swimbaits to build a pattern. As a bonus, we find ourselves in the middle of GIANT slab crappie that aren’t afraid to eat big underspins!

There’s no way around it, we took a left when we should have taken a right and it took us down an interesting path of big waves and bigger panfish. Today leaves little doubt that virtually everything that swims will eat an underspin with a swimbait trailer! Many anglers go to the lake and simply fish but a select few anglers, many of which are members of the TacticalBassin Family, spend their time on the water absorbing information, adapting to changing conditions, and constantly building patterns. These method of building patterns and adapting to change will make you an incredibly consistent angler. But once in a while… you take a left when you should have taken a right.

Below is a breakdown of all the baits discussed in the video. The links for each product go directly to Tackle Warehouse (who is still shipping orders during the pandemic) where you can see up close photos and detailed descriptions.
