Not all baits are created equal… Some expensive baits are junk and some cheap baits are amazing! We’re always looking for budget friendly lures that catch fish and hold up to the rigors of bass fishing. You’ll be shocked at which baits make the cut, and which baits don’t. These are our favorites from every major category you’ll need this Spring!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and components, in the order we talked about them. We’ve included our favorite colors and sizes where applicable to make it even easier for you to get the right gear. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
