Let’s head underwater and watch how bass react to some of our favorite baits! In today’s underwater video we’ve Texas-Rigged some of the most popular creature baits on the market and are presenting them to largemouth and smallmouth bass. Do you ever wonder what your baits look like underwater? Have you wondered what movements get the most bites? Come underwater with us and find out!
We focused on 5 key creature baits. These baits have proven themselves over and over, all filling different niches in our fishing. Pay attention to the subtle details between them as you decide which might be the best for your fishing needs. A couple immediate standouts include Big Bite’s ability to float vertically above the grass and the Keitech’s incredible swim at slow speeds. If you look closely you’ll notice subtle details in each offering.
Below is a breakdown of all the baits in the video. We included the terminal tackle used as well as rods and reels we recommend for this technique. The Texas Rig is an incredibly effective way to catch bass throughout the year and should be added to your arsenal if you’re not already putting it to work.
