Top 5 Baits For Early Spring Bass Fishing!
Spring transition is coming and big fish are on the move! If you want to be successful you need to be covering water and targeting active fish. The time for slow moving finesse baits is coming to an end so be ready to transition back to power fishing techniques. These are the lures we rely on to locate and catch bass this time of year, no matter what lake we’re on.
As soon as you get a few warm days in a row its a safe bet that the transition has begun. Its time to move shallow and search for the big bass you’ve been dreaming about all Winter. Depending on your exact conditions and what depth your fish are sitting in, one of these baits will help you put them in the boat.
Below you’ll find links to all the baits discussed in the video. We’ve even included some great budget gear to help you succeed. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

What state are you guys based out of now?
Great stuff. The only thing I wish you guys would do would be to add water temperatures along with the baits. That would push your videos over the top!!!!!!!
