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.

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.

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.

Where Do Bass Go After They Spawn? (And How To Catch Them During The Spring To Summer Transition)

Did your big fish disappear? We can help! If the big bass vanished after they finished spawning you are not alone! Matt breaks fisheries down into 4 categories and explains exactly what is happening and what will happen next in all 4 fisheries. He then goes on to explain his favorite baits for each scenario and how to use them effectively. If you’re ready to get ahead of the fish and continue catching bass into the Summer, this video is for you!

Fisheries around the country can be broken down into Highland Reservoirs, Lowland Reservoirs, Streams/Rivers (includes tidal fisheries), and Natural Lakes (includes ponds). All 4 of these water bodies behaves differently but all are predictable. The guys have spent decades following bass movements and are very comfortable predicting their patterns throughout the seasons.

Below you’ll find a breakdown of the baits Matt discussed in the video. He’ll begin with the actual bait he was showing in each category but may include an additional bait or two that will work great as an alternative. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see close up photos and detailed product descriptions.
