Night fishing for bass is the most underrated bite in the sport, and these seven night fishing baits are so good they ought to be illegal. In this one I break down the best night fishing lures for bass — the black spinnerbait with a big Colorado blade, the black buzzbait, the old-school black Jitterbug, the 10-inch Texas-rigged worm, the black and blue rattling jig, the black vibrating jig, and the popping frog for heavy grass and pads. No hype, no sponsor talk, just what actually catches big bass after dark and the exact conditions each bait dominates.

If you fish at night from the bank, a kayak, or a boat, this is the summer night fishing setup that produces without spending premium money — most of these lures run under ten bucks. I cover night fishing colors and why black wins, slow-rolling a spinnerbait, dock light fishing for big largemouth, when to put the spinnerbait down and pick the jig up, and the hardware mistakes costing anglers fish in the dark. Big bass at night are catchable. You just have to give them something they can find. Subscribe to Tackle Hank.
