FINESSE SWIMBAIT vs SOFT JERKBAIT: Which Is Better?

Come along for an awesome day of fishing with Matt and his Dad! We're on vacation in the North to get away from the heat and the bass fishing is on fire! The fish are aggressive, and the water is clear. What more could we ask for?! This lake is a perfect example of a natural Northern fishery. It has a healthy mix of both largemouth and smallmouth bass, and you can target either one. Today the smallmouth are on finesse patterns and the largemouth are ambushing around shallow cover. Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the morning. We've included our favorite colors and sizes for each, as well as any hook upgrades we used. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can find detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
