Here are the top 5 baits we trust to catch bass in July! We’re entering the HOTTEST month of the year and the fishing is about to get good! Get ready to catch some bass!! You can fish these baits with confidence whether you’re walking the shore of a pond, exploring a reservoir, or flipping your way through a shallow Southern fishery!
As temperatures rise bass become lethargic and spend most of their time tucked against cover or structure. Once you know where to look (we’re going to explain that too) all you have to do is fish these baits with confidence. You can catch fish all Summer long and we’re going to help you do it!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits we’re throwing throughout the month. We’ve included our favorite sizes and colors, and even a few of the combos we use to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#July #fishing #bassfishing
the new 6th sense BOOSA is insane on shakey head – incredible action.
It's ok Matt, grabbing the wrong worm….very understandable, as it's not easy picking the correct pack out of 6,391 packs of worms…Fellow LURE JUNKIE! 👍
Chatterbait bass love them hook them every time .and bug like fly bug u can use as top Watergate just slowly reel it in and take your pole go side to side make it look like it trying swimming pit of water make bass chase them and jump at bait
Bought a megabass big gabot 2 weeks ago and I've fished it 3 times now and caught my pb bass and multiple medium sized pike here in MN. Was having a tough year until I started fishing that frog.
Ever fish Lake Wawasee in northern IN?
Black angel lures has a smaller shakey head called the snitch and it freaking smashes em.
Can you guys give the 6th sense pressure series a try!? And report back. They work VERY well with the burn burn burn burn pause because they suspend
Matt's Top 5…..ish baits😂
Matt & Tim. What are your thoughts on the Bucca Nacho? Do you throw it?
Not sure why you are using swinging head in a fixed fashion. Much easier to use Cheburashka heads so you can change hooks easily if needed.
That was one of the best videos yet. Thanks Guys!
Hey Matt and Tim, I’d love to see a video about targeting outside weed lines during the summer. I know you’ve done a video on this in the past but another one would be great!
Great info as always! Keep up the great work!👍
I'm literally walking to my favorite fishing spot right now for a ninety minute session before work. I have with me all surface baits; wake baits, Choppos, and Zara Spooks. Wish me luck, I'm still looking for my first lunker of the year.
canterbury shakey head with tmac junebug or zoom magnum june bug definitely get bigger on the boat
Thanks!
Definitely love using the jig for July summer and we all know what the frog does! Thanks for such greats information and knowledge!
