Bass Fishing: Top 10 Baits of 2020!!

What were the best baits of 2020? Which baits caught the biggest fish? Which baits caught the most? We were blessed with a bunch of great fish catches this year as we traveled around the country. Come along as we look back on some of the best catches of the year and the great baits that fooled the fish into biting.

Some of our best baits continue to produce year after year. Others are brand new, but stood out from the crowd this year. Some of these baits made the list because they consistently caught big fish while others made the list because we could rely on them to get bit when nothing else was working. We constantly try new gear, new baits, and new patterns. These are the best of the best of 2020 that are worth a try the next time you’re on the water.

Below you’ll find links to all of the baits shown in the video. We’ve included exact sizes and colors where applicable. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Summer Gear Review! New Tackle, Rods, Reels, ICAST 2020 New Releases!

New Tackle! Let’s check out some of the best baits and equipment from 2020! We’ve got you covered from new worms, to crankbaits, to budget reels, and high-end fishing rods!

Every Summer the market is flooded with new gear. Everything from silly gimmicks to truly innovative tackle hits the market at the same time. How do you wade through it and find the gems without wasting all your money? We’ve waded through it for you and narrowed it down to a handful of stand-out items that are worth a serious look. Most of this year’s picks are ICAST releases but a few are products from the past year that have stood the test of time and have earned their spot on the list.

Where applicable we’ve included our favorite colors, sizes, models, etc. Below that you’ll find the “Honorable Mentions”.

New Kayak Review! Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 136!

This kayak just won “Best Of Show” At ICAST 2020, let’s look at why! When we heard the Sportsman Autopilot 136 had an Ultrex trolling motor and could “spot lock” to hold position so we didn’t have to paddle the kayak constantly, we knew we had to have it! Come along as Tim takes it for a spin on the water, looks at the features, and shows how to operate the motor.

This is a top of the line kayak! Its incredibly stable, has room to stand, walk, and enough stability to fish from virtually any position. We’ve had it out in big waves, heavy winds, and have had the opportunity to catch some great big bass from these boats. If you’re upgrading to a larger kayak or considering adding a trolling motor to an existing kayak, you should give this a look.

The 13’6″ version (136) retails for $3999 while the smaller 12′ version (120) retails for $3799. This is a serious investment for an entry level kayaker but is a no brainer for a bass angler coming down from a bass boat. As bass boat angler’s we’ve already fallen in love with the spot lock feature of the Ultrex trolling motor and know there is no going back. Having this same feature in a kayak gives us the ability to go farther, stay more stable in rough water, and most importantly, focus on the fishing instead of the positioning.

Below you’ll find links to the kayak as well as some of our favorite kayak accessories. The kayak link will take you directly to the manufacturer’s website (Old Town), while the accessory links will go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.

Summer Bass Fishing Gear Review! New Baits, Tackle, and Equipment This Summer!

Let’s take a look at some of the best new gear for this Summer! From new crankbaits to worms, trailer accessories to reels, we’re covering it all! This review is a selection of products from a variety of brands that have been making a difference in our fishing lately. Some items are brand new to the market, others have just recently had a positive impact in our fishing and earned a place in the review.

You may have noticed that our recent videos have not been from our home state. We’re back out on the road, traveling the country, and exploring new places. We’re coming to a lake near you, trying new gear, catching new fish, and continuing to grow our angling knowledge so we can help you become a more consistent angler as we share that knowledge. In the spirit of road tripping, we’ve recently had a lot of positive experiences with our boat and trailer upgrades so today Tim begins with a series of trailer upgrades that have been impacting his fishing in a positive way.

Boating/Trailer Equipment…
-Moto Stop Transom Saver (Yamaha): http://bit.ly/2SCCwW4
-DD26 Transom Saver (Mercury): https://bit.ly/2BfaZlC
-TH Marine Steer Stop- https://bit.ly/2Sc5Ikg
-Fulton F2 Series Trailer Jack: https://bit.ly/2YHEB34
-Fulton F2 Series Winch: https://bit.ly/3frtFx8
-Spare Boat Buckle Winch Straps (Loop End): https://bit.ly/2BgnOw1

Its no secret that we’re both tackle junkies. When new gear comes out we’re always quick to give it a try. We’re constantly fishing new brands, new baits, and new equipment. With Covid creating supply chain issues across the fishing industry we’ve been reaching even further to try new baits and gear while some of our favorites are sold out! These are a few of the items that have stood out for us in recent months. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and product descriptions of each item.

Baits…
-Megabass Z Series Z-1 Crankbait: https://bit.ly/2Y9dkHB
Favorite Colors: Mat Craw 2, PM Hot Gill 2, Kasumi Ito
-Megabass Z Series Z-2 Crankbait: https://bit.ly/3fsxn9G
Favorite Colors: GG Gill, Mat Craw 2, PM Hot Gill 2
-Teckel KickKnocker Topwater: http://bit.ly/2nvxkoA
Favorite Colors: Bone, Lime Ice
-Yum Mighty Worm: https://bit.ly/2Yajojh

Gear…
-Shimano Bantam Metanium MGL 150 B: https://bit.ly/34HlAAk
This reel is AWESOME for the price! If you’re looking for a new high-end “do everything” reel this is it! Today’s video is just giving it a quick stamp of approval because there is a dedicated review of just this reel coming in the future. We didn’t care to be first on a review, we wanted to really break this reel in and see how it did over time… more to come on that very soon.

-Sunline FC Structure Fluorocarbon Line: https://bit.ly/2UMO73N
This line is designed for fishing around structure. Big Worms and Jigs, deep water, etc… is what they had in mind when designing this. Its been on the market for a couple years but I’m just giving it a fair shot now and so far I’ve been very impressed.

Spring Bass Fishing Gear Review – Top New Baits and Rods For 2020!


A TON of awesome new baits and gear have already hit the market this Spring! Between the Bassmaster Classic and the start of prime fishing season across the south, the influx of new offerings is crazy! Today we’re wading through the new gear in search of the best of the best. We’ve tried a huge variety of baits and gear and compiled a short list of items that are worth taking a serious look at.

Today’s video is focused around baits and equipment that will have a tangible impact on your fishing. From the Hog Farmer Flex Rigs and their ability to draw drastically more strikes than stiffer rigs, to the Quiver worm’s ability to shake and shimmy unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, every item in today’s video has the ability to help you catch more fish. When it comes to rods, we looked at both ends of the spectrum.

Crankbait rods are one of the most difficult selections an angler can make because different sizes and styles of crankbaits require such different equipment to maximize their potential. The Intenza comes in at a budget-friendly price and is probably the most adaptable crankbait rod we’ve used to date. On the higher end of the gear spectrum, both the St. Croix and the Poison Adrena bring incredible sensitivity within reach, and the Twin Power delivers ultra high-end performance at a reduced price.

Below you’ll find a breakdown of all the equipment from today’s video in the order they appeared. We’ve included links that go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see the products in detail. For the baits, we’ve even included color recommendations and rigging advice. We hope you find this gear review helpful!
