Baits That Trigger Reaction Bites | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Baits That Trigger Reaction Bites | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The next time you’re headed to the lake, think about how you plan to catch those fish. I say that because most anglers think about choosing irresistible lures that will entice bass into striking. However, I think anglers should focus more attention on a fish’s natural reaction, especially on those tough days when weather fronts have taken the edge off their aggressiveness or when the fish are getting a lot of angling pressure."

How to Rig Shrimp for different applications

How to Rig Shrimp for different applications: "
We all know that shrimp is a staple for many inshore game fish, but do we all know how to rig them for different situations? Wonder if you want distance out of your cast, can this be done using the same rig as for free-lining? Pictured below are different methods and techniques that can be used when using live shrimp as bait. Remember that small to medium shrimp will take a lot of smaller fish, but when your going after the bigger fish, the largest shrimp available will be more appealing to them plus it will discourage the smaller fish from stealing your bait. Another tip would be to use the smallest hook and the least amount of weight that you can to do the job."
