HOT BAITS
FOR SPRING
Brought to you by Tackle Warehouse,
proud sponsor of FLW and the Tackle
Warehouse Pro Circuit
Bass anglers celebrate the arrival of
spring every year like kids celebrate
Christmas, and rightly so. It’s the
season when tournaments kick off, the
weather starts to turn favorable and
bass start chewing.
That doesn’t mean the fishing is
easy, however. Spring is a season of
transition, when bass can be caught
from deep structure to the bank. The
best way to stay on ’em is to be
prepared with tackle for fishing in any
conditions, around every type of cover
and structure, and over a wide range of
applications.
To that effect, the experts at Tackle
Warehouse assembled a roster of go-to
options that every bass angler ought to
have the first time they back the boat
into the water this spring.
2. NED WORMS
These little worms pack a big impact. Ned rigs are great for post-frontal
conditions and pressured bass.
Our recommendations:
Z-Man Finesse TRD
TW Delta Green
Pumpkin
Roboworm Ned Worm
TW Black Blue
Pumpkin
Z-Man Finesse TRD BugZ
California Craw
3. PADDLE-TAIL SWIMBAITS
From 2 inches to 10 inches, there is a paddle tail in the size and color to
match the hatch. Whether fished weedless around submergent grass, on a
jighead or on an umbrella rig, a paddle tail will catch anything that swims.
Our recommendations:
Keitech Swing
Impact FAT
TW Black, Blue and
Green Pumpkin
Reaction Innovations
Skinny Dipper
Bad Sexy Shad
1. CREATURE BAITS
Creature baits come in an endless
variety of styles for many applications,
including flippin,’ pitchin,’ as a jig trailer,
Carolina rigging, Texas rigging and on a
shaky head.
Our recommendations:
Strike King Rage Bug
Falcon Lake Craw
Yamamoto
Swim Senko
Baby Bass
4. PROP BAITS
Nothing gets the blood boiling in a big bass quite like a prop bait. Fish it
slowly around bedding bream or bass and watch them come unglued. It’s one
of the most exciting baits to fish in the spring.
Our recommendations:
Reaction Innovations
Spicy Beaver
Blank Check
Smithwick Devil’s Horse
Silver Shiner
Bagley Pro Sunny B Twin Spin
Chartreuse Bluegill
Missile Baits D Bomb
