This video highlights the benefits of using reaction baits in Spring. Matt employs baits like a Lipless Crankbait, a Squarebill Crankbait, and an Alabama Rig, to quickly locate fish. Once he’s found them, he cycles through baits to keep them biting. This fishing method works everywhere, and is one of the best ways to quickly break down water and locate fish.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the evening. We’ve also included the exact colors, hook upgrades, and the rod and reel combos Matt used to consistently land the fish that bit. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
