If you’ve struggled to catch bigger fish in Spring, you aren’t alone. This time of year presents an amazing opportunity to target the biggest fish in the lake, but not everyone knows how to do it. When the same anglers continually catch big bass, it’s not random, and it’s not by accident. Listen closely to Tim’s tips about how fish are positioning, then focus all your attention on baits that specifically target big bass.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear discussed in the video. We’ve included our favorite sizes and colors for each, as well as some great budget–friendly gear that will help you fish effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
