Bass can be caught on a mix of fast moving reaction baits and slow, bottom contact presentations. When it comes to reaction baits, we put a lot of emphasis on standing out from the crowd. We’re using baits with flash, vibration, and sound to get the bass’ attention. When it comes to soft baits, it’s all about a natural presentation. We find that baits with some blue in them will often catch more fish than other colors.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits Tim discussed in the video, including our favorite sizes and colors. We’ve also included some of the gear we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
