The 99.9% Bass Bait That Just Keeps Catching Fish

If you’ve watched Pond Bassin’ for a while, you may have heard me call this the 99.9% bass bait — the lure my dad uses almost every time we go bass fishing.

It’s the 4-inch Rapala BX Minnow in Gold Shiner, and in this video I’ll show you exactly how he fishes it, including the simple retrieves he uses to consistently catch bass.

I’ll also get into a few other bass fishing questions that came up recently, including how I avoid line twist when fishing a Fluke without a swivel, and why I use 40–50 pound braid with a 15 pound mono leader.

Whether you’re fishing a pond, working around vegetation, or just looking for ways to make your bass fishing setup more effective, hopefully there’s something here you can use on your next trip.

Thanks for watching and supporting Pond Bassin’!
