If I Could Only Pick ONE Spring Bass Lure…Stop soaking Senkos and do this instead.
from Catch More Bass — Bass Fishing Podcast · host Tom Redington
Bass Fishing Tips: If you could only take one bait for the entire spring, what would it be—and why? In this episode I make the case for a swimming worm (speed worm) as the best “middle lane” spring tool: fast enough to cover water like a moving bait, but weedless and precise enough to fish thick cover like a Texas rig. We break down when spring fish push anglers into two extremes (burn moving baits vs deadstick a Senko), why pressured bass respond to a different look, and how to fish a speed worm two ways: steady swimming to find fish, and slower Texas-rig style when they won’t chase. You’ll also get the exact setup—Berkley Speed Boss, pegged weight, 4/0 superline EWG—plus key retrieve rules (rod tip up vs down, steady vs stop-and-go), where it shines in the spring shallows, and the common mistakes that kill bites and hookups.
