I Catch 90% of My Bass on These 7 Baits

Too many lures. Too much second-guessing. I’ve been there.

I used to haul around boxes of crankbaits, plastics, frogs, and everything in between—chasing the “magic bait.” But after years of guiding and fishing tournaments, I simplified my tackle down to just 7 core baits that now catch 90% of my bass. This isn’t minimalism for its own sake—these are high-confidence, battle-tested baits that cover everything: deep, shallow, power, finesse.

In this video, I’m breaking down the full list, what each bait does, and how this system helps me stay locked on the fish while keeping my mind clear and my deck organized.

Follow-up videos will dive into each category—starting with soft plastics. If you’re tired of wasting money, overpacking your boat, and wondering what to throw, this series is built for you.
