Top 5 Baits For April Bass Fishing!



The best bass fishing of the year is happening now! Don’t miss it! There is no better time to get on the water and catch a bunch of fish than April. You can typically find fish in all 3 stages of the spawn and it’s not hard to catch them. If you’ve ever wanted to learn a new technique, or target a big bass, this is the time!

Bass can be caught on a mix of fast moving reaction baits and slow, bottom contact presentations. When it comes to reaction baits, we put a lot of emphasis on standing out from the crowd. We’re using baits with flash, vibration, and sound to get the bass’ attention. When it comes to soft baits, its all about a natural presentation. We find that baits with a some blue in them will often catch more fish than other colors.

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video, including our favorite sizes and colors. We’ve also included some of the gear we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

  1. Matt, any plans to put a fiber weed guard on your tactical under spin?
    I like that the owner flashy swimmer is weedless, but the bite gap is minimal. In addition, I'll be fishing from the shore and need weedless baits. Tks Guy

  2. I just can’t get bit fishing a jig on the bottom. I’ve tried finesse jigs, football jigs, ball head jigs, and mostly casting or flipping style jigs because they make the most sense for the places I fish. I’ve tried hopping, dragging, dead sticking, you name it. Now, swim jigs and bladed jigs are a different story, I catch tons of fish on them. Do there have to be craws in the body of water for a bottom contact jig to work? I throw colors that closely imitate bluegill in high percentage areas around cover where I know for a fact there are bass but it doesn’t work. I can pick up a Ned rig or a shaky head or weightless Senko and catch several in the same places I’m fishing the jig. It’s really frustrating! What am I doing wrong??
