Texas Rigs And Shallow Cover! (Creature Baits And Craws For BIG Bass)

Flipping Sticks, Heavy Line, And Big Bass! Come along for an awesome day on the water with Matt and Cobi! The guys have met up for a quick fishing trip and they’re searching for a giant bite! Watch how they pick apart shallow cover, working as a team to make sure every reed is checked, and catch a monster bass!

When Matt and Cobi get together, big bass are almost always caught! Pay close attention to the details of how the guys switch between baits and colors to dial in the bite. From jig, to creature, to specific profile, they quickly dial it in, and before its over Matt is holding a GIANT Bass!

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors, hooks, as well as the key rods and reels they used to subdue these fish around heavy cover.
