The key today was adapting to changing conditions instead of forcing a pattern. Once Matt analyzed where each successful bite came from, he was able to isolate a pattern that worked with a variety of different baits. From the Underspin, to the A–Rig, to the jerkbait, he was able to catch some really nice bass and have a great day on the water.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included details on bait sizes, colors, as well as the rod and reel combos Matt used to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
