Spring is a great time to learn a new technique. Bass are moving shallow and you can target them with a variety of lures. Whether you’re looking to dial in a technique, or you just want to fish with more confidence, these recommendations will save you a lot of time and money. These are our favorite baits from each major category we use in the Spring, so you don’t have to second guess your choices when you’re out fishing.
