Underspin Tricks You've Never Tried That Catch More Bass!

Underspins are a great way to catch bass in the Fall. They add flash and vibration to your favorite swimbait and help it stand out amongst a crowd of baitfish. Whether you’re throwing a big swimbait in search of a giant bass or a tiny finesse swimbait just looking for a bite, rigging it on an underspin can make a huge difference!

Tim has a handful of underspins that he relies on to consistently catch fish. Whether he’s throwing a 2.8 keitech on a spinning rod, or a larger swimbait deep in the grass, there is a perfect hook for every application. When the fish are short striking or targeting the blade, he’s got a trick to add a stinger hook to the blade to hook those finicky bass as well! If you’re not throwing an underpin this Fall, you’re missing a great opportunity to load the boat with quality fish.

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits, hooks, and components Tim showed in the video. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We’ve also included some of his favorite rod/reel combos for these techniques, including a budget combo for anglers that are just getting into this style of fishing.

Jig Fishing Tricks For Fall and Winter Bass Fishing

Catching bass with jigs is really easy! You can do it, and we’re going to help! A few jigs, a few trailers, and you’re ready to adapt to anything Fall bass fishing brings your way. Pay close attention to how we adapt the jigs to changing conditions and you’ll be ready to start catching fish on your next trip.

When it comes to jigs, Fall is all about finesse. Lighter hooks and lighter line are the keys to getting consistent bites. Matt prefers football jigs this time of year and focuses on a few basic colors and sizes. Its important to adapt with changing conditions but Matt finds its easier (and cheaper) to change trailers and trailer colors rather than carrying dozens of jigs styles and colors.

Below is a breakdown of his simplified jig fishing method. There are a total of 4 jigs and 6 trailer styles. If you listen closely and analyze your fishery you should only need 2-3 jigs and 3-4 trailers to adapt to anything your fishery can throw at you this Fall. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

All-Around Jig…

Catching GIANT Striped Bass In a NEW Lake!

Come along as Matt and Tim chase big striper! They’re exploring new water in search of these big predatory fish and it doesn’t take long to find them! The guys start out with swimbaits and A-rigs but quickly realize the fish have gone deep. A quick switch to a spoon is all it takes to get the big ones biting!

The key tonight was finding lures that could be fished effectively in deep water. Tim put time into the A-Rig (A proven producer for big striped bass) but the combination of deep water (30-45 feet) and strong current was too much for the rig. A heavy spoon (1 3/4 oz) in bold colors proved to be the best option. Even in the current we were able to hop the spoons as we back drifted. We had a very short bite window before the river currents slowed but we connected with two beautiful Striper before it was over.

We’ve done quite a few videos on spoon for bass and striper in the past. Matt typically leans toward a jigging spoon while Tim prefers a flutter spoon. Both styles are a must-have in an angler’s arsenal and worth learning how to fish effectively. If you’ve missed our previous videos on the subject you can see them here…

Below is a breakdown of the baits and equipment the guys were using this evening. We’ve even included a link to the NET they SHOULD HAVE brought with them to land these big fish with ease. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.

The spoons…
Bait- Blade Runner 1 3/4 oz DUH Spoon: http://bit.ly/2aKVLlG
Colors: UV Fried Chicken, UV Citrus
Hook- Owner ST-56 Size 2: http://bit.ly/2cVg7xW
Swivel- Sampo Welded Ring Black Size 4: https://bit.ly/3kflHd2

The A-Rig…
Rig- G Funk Baits Cali Rig: http://bit.ly/2nD76fw
Heads- Matt Allen Swimbait Head (1/8 and 1/2 oz): http://bit.ly/29RrTYN
Baits- Keitech 4.8″ Fat Swing Impact (Electric Shad): http://bit.ly/2ab7s8v
Dummy Baits- Keitech 3.3″ Fat Swing Impact (Electric Shad): http://bit.ly/2ab7s8v

The Net…
Frabill Knotless Conservation Net 9522: https://bit.ly/33vYRaq

Matt’s Exact Spoon Combo…
Rod- Poison Adrena 7’4″ Heavy: https://bit.ly/3diigiT
Reel- Shimano Metanium MGL 150 B HG: https://bit.ly/34HlAAk
Line- Power Pro Maxcuatro 50 lb Braid: http://bit.ly/2clBRiQ
Leader- Maxima Ultragreen 20 lb Mono: http://bit.ly/2ae97J9
Alternative Line- Sunline Assassin 20 lb Fluorocarbon**: http://bit.ly/2h4LNjm

** Note: If this was a dedicated spoon rod Matt said he would remove the braid/leader and fish this rig with 20 lb Sunline Assassin Fluorocarbon. He feels the Fluoro is a better option for deep spooning around finicky fish but the braid is a better line for fishing a variety of baits with this rod.

“Bang For The Buck” Spoon Combo…

#fishing #stripedbass #striper

Matt and Tim are BACK! Exploring a New Lake! (Chickamauga)

After 6 grueling trips across the country, Matt and Tim are finally back on the lake together! They’re exploring Chickamauga in the middle of a Summer rain storm. Come along as they find new water, adapt to changing conditions, and catch bass on topwater and reaction baits.

A lot of anglers are intimidated by rain. Some don’t want their equipment soaked, others aren’t sure what to throw when its raining. Today the guys explain why they’re throwing different baits and how the conditions are impacting their choices. Its a unique look into both angler’s mindsets as they are adapting to changing conditions on new water.

While both anglers stuck to reaction baits throughout the day, they both downsized their offerings to get consistent bites.

#Chickamauga #rain #bassfishing

We Made It To Chickamauga! Topwater Bite Is On Fire!

We’re finally on Chickamauga in Tennessee! We survived the cross country road trip and now its time to fish! We’re starting out in search of a midday topwater bite and will adapt from there. Do that patterns that work on one side of the country work on the other? Let’s find out if the Clearlake pattern holds up!

Matt is joined by his nephew Ethan and together they mix up a variety of topwater offerings including a blade waker, buzzbait, walking bait, popper, and frog. It doesn’t take long to find aggressive bass willing to eat them all! Later Matt switches to a Keitech while Ethan switches to a chatterbait, and again they find consistent action. This further confirms the old adage “A Bass Is A Bass” no matter where it lives.

So many anglers are convinced their fish are different, that they won’t eat a particular bait or won’t follow seasonal patterns like bass in other parts of the country. While a rare example might exist, the vast majority of fish from coast to coast behave very Similarly. Its incredibly rewarding to drive thousands of miles (literally) and find bass eating the exact baits you were throwing before hitting the road.

Below is a breakdown of the baits in the video. We’ve included direct links to Tackle Warehouse for each item where you can see detailed photos and descriptions. We’ve also included trailers, color, weights, etc… where applicable.

Sight Casting For GIANT Smallmouth Bass In The Clearest Water You've Ever Seen!

We’ve found water so clear you can see giant bass swimming 50 yards away! We’re sight casting to them like they’re snook on a saltwater flat and its working!!! Come along as Matt and CC stalk big fish with ultralight tackle in the Great Lakes and catch a monster bag the first day! Don’t let clear water and big fish intimidate you, Matt is about to show you everything you need to know to consistently catch these fish!

If you’ve ever been faced with fish in crystal clear water you know they can be very finicky. Knowing how to adapt your gear and lead the fish so they don’t spook is critical. Once you’ve established how much lead you need to put your bait in their line of sight without spooking them, its clock work. Today we did our best work with a tube and a dark sleeper. The fish ambushing around rocks would crush the dark sleeper but fish on the open flats would only eat a tube worked with tiny pops of the rod tip.

The next time you’re faced with clear water conditions, don’t be afraid to try and catch those bass! Use long leaders, make long casts, and don’t be afraid to search for fish where no one else is willing to go. Below is a breakdown of the baits (including exact colors, weights, etc) and the gear we were using to throw them. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
