Its hard to argue with Tim’s Top 5 when you see these bass absolutely destroying them! Finesse fishing is often overlooked but it can be deadly during the prespawn and spawn for wary bass. Pay close attention as Tim explains his top 5 baits for spawning bass because he’s giving you key details to go along with each bait choice.
Many anglers lock into a single bait during the spawn. They throw the same bait to every bed regardless of the fish’s natural reaction. This is a huge mistake! Its critical to have a handful of options ready to go and adjust quickly from one to the next until you find the bait each bass is most interested in.
Below is a breakdown of the top baits and equipment Tim discussed and used in the video.

Love the kietech jig, hate the dark sleeper around wood, (hangs up every time).
keitech and jackall got me into the wacky jighead fishin and it def gets u bit under pressured lakes
thanks those jigs look mean man.cant wait to pick some up.
Just grabbed a 3/8 and 1/4 oz keitech pitching jig. I love the skirts on them for sure and I’m excited to try em paired with a keitech crazy flapper cut a bit short
Love how Tim calls the Wakasagi color a "Wagasaki" lol keep it up man
To summarize: "This guy right here"…. "This little guy right here"… "This guy right here".
I've started throwing bitsy bug jigs this year and there's always one tied on now for me. Love em
1st in awhile.
I learn something new everytime I rewatch tacticalbassin videos. If you want to catch fish do what they say.
Man you could literally throw the dark sleep everyday of the year and never go home empty handed.
This is by far the best fishing channel on youtube right now. Amazing information, best footage, thank you!
They choke those dark sleepers for me everytime.
That TRD Craw (motor oil) just caught me my first fish on Saturday! (I helped). A perch.
Awesome video. Really like those presentations and glad to say i have that dirty jig, dark sleeper and trd craw. That bass patrol and keitech tungsten look really good. Ill also have to try a ned on my jigs. Really good stuff!
Thanks for the tips. Wondering where I can find these small lures
Hey Tim since yall are talking about finesse jigs what's your opinion on the strike king bitsy bug jig. I'm 17 and don't really have a lot of cash to spend and it's quite affordable and I catch a lot of fish on it.
Bought some trd craws this morning. They are awesome.
Have you guys tried the Zman Crosseyed finesse jig?
The dark sleeper and Ned craw are amazing baits I’ve caught a lot of fish on both baits
Hey guys, keep the content coming. You have taught me so much. I do have a suggestion. I don't have a boat. I need some help breaking down a new lake or pond especially pressured lakes. Where I should be fishing what to look for. I usually have between 2-4 hrs to fish when I get a chance and want to make the most of that time. Do you suggest getting one of those castable fish finders? You guys always talk about how much electronics help. Thanks
Awesome video .
Very good info. Thanks bud
Thanks for making these videos I learn so much and also get new ideas to try in Lake Shasta
nice 👍👍
New subscriber here. I was wondering if the TacticalBassin hoodies were available for purchase? Edit : Oh k i see the link now.
Almost 200k!!!
Love your videos.
How about a video for kids and beginners on proper handling and the catch and release conservation ethics of our sport.
Stuff we take for granted but not all kids are taught these things.
Thanks again guys!
