March is one of the BEST months of the year to catch big bass. As water temps start rising and prespawn fish begin moving up, having the right baits tied on can make all the difference.

In this video, I break down my Top 3 Bass Fishing Baits for March and exactly how I fish them to target prespawn bass.

These are confidence baits that flat out get bit this time of year 👇

🎣 My Top 3 March Bass Baits:

1️⃣ H2O Express Spinnerbait – Perfect for covering water, targeting wind-blown banks, and triggering aggressive prespawn bass.
2️⃣ Bill Lewis Rattle Trap (Lipless Crankbait) – A must-have for grass flats, staging areas, and reaction bites.
3️⃣ Torrent Outdoors Thresher 6.0 Swimbait – My go-to big bait when I’m hunting quality bites during the prespawn.

I explain:

When to throw each bait

Water temps to look for

The type of cover I target

Retrieve styles that produce

How to adjust when the bite gets tough

If you’re fishing in March, these three baits should absolutely be in your rotation.

💥 Why March Is So Good

Prespawn bass are feeding up before the spawn, and reaction baits like spinnerbaits and lipless crankbaits can produce explosive strikes. Add a big swimbait into the mix, and you have a serious shot at quality fish.
