I was lucky enough to get to the Ultimate Fishing Show early enough to capture some video footage of Kevin Van Dam giving away some great fishing tips on the Strike King Ned Rig, Thunder Cricket, Swimbait, Red Eye Shad, Squarebill and even their popular Jerkbait. But honestly, what I was amazed with was being able to see Kevin Van Dam this…

You know everyone goes over to Bass Pro Shops every spring for their discount on bass lures, but believe it or not, there's a better store you need to check out and it will save you a lot more money. They definitely don't have the inventory Bass Pro has, however, you just never know what…

If you're looking for a fishing lure that will catch you a lot of bass and even really big bass through all four seasons, well look no further than the legendary spinnerbait the Johnson Beetle Spin. Sold at a price everyone can afford, this spinnerbait can be used in the spring when bass are spawning, due…

So it's obvious that VMC, aka Rapala basically just mimicked the design of Decoy's Y-F33BT with their own VMC Bladed Hybrid Treble Hook version. In the internet photo they look strong, but when you see them in person, the rolling swivel looks very tiny and seems very weak. I was going to buy a few of them at Bass…

Very weird, I never heard or seen this before, but I caught a 4 pound smallmouth bass on the 4.5" Suissex Shad Spin Blade back in March at Lake St. Clair Metropark, and what you know, the bass had a lamprey near its tail. Pretty big one too, but it didn't look to be sea…

I feel kind of stupid just finding out about Wayne Carpenter Xtreme Bass Tackle tubes, don't get me wrong, I still love Chompers and Strike King Coffee tubes and think they are highly effective, especially with the powerful garlic and coffee scents they come impregnated with. But I've seen smallmouth entirely shut down with scents…

Now I saw the Anglers Choice Ridgeback Goby at the 2019 Ultimate Fishing Show this past winter, that soft plastic looks sick, better yet it can even be fished on a drop shot rig, which makes it even more deadly! However, there's another realistic goby soft plastic that went under the radar with me and…

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_JI-CSgx6p/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Ben over at the Smallmouth Experience recently uploaded a video on Instagram showing off the action of the Megabass Okashira Screwhead. A jig head that features a asymmetrical prop that will add more flash and subtle vibration to just about any soft plastic bait you add to it, in Ben's case he was using a…

Well there's a new bass fishing lure on the scene for 2020 and it's not your usual jig, we all know how the grubs, tube jigs and ned rigs kill it every spring out on Lake St. Clair for smallmouth bass, along with drop shot rigs. I know everyone likes to toss a swimbait mid-spring…

I see more and more bass fishermen using ned rigs out on Lake St. Clair every spring, what about trying the Lunker city Hellgie instead? Lunker City posted a slow motion video of the Hellgie on Facebook recently and the action of the tails and small legs would probably drive the smallmouth bonkers. If you…
