Tim is telling it like it is! We all make mistakes on the water, that’s just part of it. Focus on positive change and your fishing will improve. Here are the mistakes we believe you should watch out for this Spring!
*THE MISTAKES…*
•Overanalyzing And Fishing Slowly
•Sticking With Confidence Baits
•Not Giving Your Reaction Bait Action
•Too Much Movement With Finesse Baits
•Fishing History Instead Of Reading Conditions
Below you’ll find links to Tim’s key confidence baits this time of year. We’ve included his favorite sizes and colors for each, along with the rigging components he uses to fish them effectively. We’ve also included some great budget friendly rod and reel combos for working these baits properly. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
