Top 5 Baits For July Bass Fishing!

[@benjaminjenkins9829]

Just got skunked this morning and I went to KZbin for answers and this is the first video I saw! Can't wait to get back out and try some of these methods

[@tacticalbassin]

I hope it helps!!

[@midwestfischerman]

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.

[@chrisrubin1762]

Any luck?

[@midwestfischerman]

@chrisrubin1762 Just one keeper so far. Three smaller bass grenaded my Zara Spook knocking it into the air. Still lunkerless.

[@zarekmoffatt1287]

I’ve caught more 3-5lb. & up on jigs this year oddly enough they were crushing the bitsy bugs earlier in the season and now I’m having great luck with your classic football heads & some of strike kings hack attack heavy cover jigs

[@midwestfischerman]

@chrisrubin1762 WTF?!?! I just broke off a good bass hooked on my Zara Spook tied on straight braid. The poor bass just jumped, trying to throw the Zara Spook. Wow, I feel awful.🤦🏼‍♂️

[@andybales7318]

​@@midwestfischermanI broke off likely my PB couple weeks ago that snapped 30 lb. Braid doing a nose dive under my yak....back to mono for me!

[@McFish_Snatcher]

Love it when I hear you guys say "and 4 more techniques to wrap it up"

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! It's tough to narrow it down!

[@johngentry2794]

the new 6th sense BOOSA is insane on shakey head - incredible action.

[@JUJUBEJUBILEE]

Been out for a while now, but yeah I’ve caught - 6 lb and a 5 lb on them

[@sunwukongmonkeyking5561]

Definitely love using the jig for July summer and we all know what the frog does! Thanks for such greats information and knowledge!

[@jtotherog]

It always boosts my confidence to hear yall praise a bait after I’ve already been throwing it! The dc frog is one of my favorites❤

[@tacticalbassin]

That's a great choice! Nice work 👊

[@btzee5035]

Great information, thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I sooo appreciate it!!

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!

[@tacticalbassin]

You'll be happy with upcoming videos 👍🏼

[@augustjensen3273]

@@tacticalbassin thank you and tight lines!!

[@RanchtUp]

would love to see an in-depth popper video! just inherited my grandfathers tackle and it seems that was one of his favorite ways to fish. seems like it has its own rabbit hole I know you'd totally go down lol

[@richardblake4777]

Matt, thanks for an outstanding video with your favorites for July. Agree with all your pics but have to throw in a chatterbaits. Specifically a 1/2 oz white Jackhammer with a 5&1/2 inch white Spunk Shad. You guys are the best.

[@BuCkEtAqUaTiCs]

Taking a camping trip in July, definitely going to try some of these.

[@SAlTin3]

I love y’all’s videos and y’all put in a ton of work thank you for everything y’all do! However one day I hope that y’all can maybe take some time to talk about trends and what fish will do during different patterns. For example, weather patterns like rain, wind, sunny, cloudy, fronts etc and maybe even explain what in your opinions on how the moon phases effect fish, the levels of lakes whether high or low. It is a subject I never see really talked about in depth with fishing and hoping one day y’all might share what y’all have learned on the subject! Thank you!

[@anangrycustomer2913]

I personally enjoy all the videos. All the information from every video is an awesome thing. I don't own a boat yet so i cant get out in the middle of the lake atm. Bit ive slowly been making changes to my tackle cuz of you Tacticalbassin guys. Been following since yall were in Cali. First video i saw was Matt in some overalls on a boat casting down a kinda narrow stream with no facial hair. Tryin to get me a Berkeley choppo.

[@crankbaitmaster9000]

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.

[@joshbayless6835]

That MB fat finesse worm is where it's at! Don't let that cat out of the bag! Great info as always fellas.

[@andybales7318]

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! 👍

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

Just went to sportsmans yesterday to look at the 7' tatula elite spinning rod. Handle is way too short so I walked out with a ton of xzone and Yama plastics 😅. New Yama craw looks awesome for the 1/4oz owner ewg ned hooks.

[@andybales7318]

​@@tims_always_fishing7117I stop at Bass Pro Shops almost every day for my break each day.. sure don't need anymore lures, but it's impossible to not walk out with a bag of lures

[@tacticalbassin]

Andy you're too funny! The sickness is real!! 😂

[@patsparks8731]

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

[@TheCapi246]

I recently decided to take the plunge into fresh water fishing and purchased a Daiwa Tatula XT 7' Medium spinning rod and a Daiwa Tatula XT 7'1 MH casting rod based on your video recommendations. I'm currently looking for a 3rd rod and I'm not sure what direction to go? I use the spinning rod for soft plastics, texas rigs, free rigs etc. and the casting rod for any hard baits (crank bait, toppers, frog etc). Should I be looking into a more jig focused rod for swim jigs, pitching and punching? Love the videos as I've learned so much, but this world of rods etc is pretty intimidating lol

[@soulstech414]

Any tips for jig fishing for ponds? I feel like all the youtubers only talk about big lakes with lots of different types of structure but I live in delaware where there are really only ponds around. Ive been fishing since I was a kid but this is the first year I've ever tried using a jig... I've only caught one fish with a jig, it was a nice 4 pounder. I have a few colors of swim jigs, a couple football jigs, and couple I guess normal jigs.. but im guessing I'm just working them wrong because everyone swears by them but I just don't get bites with them

[@Shawn_Lai]

Why do you prefer the GLX 892s over the Steez AGS "The One" for swimbaits, finesse shakeyhead, and finesse underspins?

[@BossManFishing08]

canterbury shakey head with tmac junebug or zoom magnum june bug definitely get bigger on the boat

I love the shimano expride series rods you turned me on into. Do you have any recommendations for travel rods

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.

Giant dog x and SB 77.7 even better pair for 1,2 punch 🤑

[@LMB686]

What’s up Matt! I have a company recommendation for you. Toad Thumper Lures. Also I had a question with the previous video, with big worms what would be a good one for New York largemouth? Because I feel as if 15” big worm may be too big for a largemouth.

[@tacticalbassin]

The 7" C Mac is an awesome downsized version of the larger 11" and 15" worms

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

Gonna try to figure out how to walk the dog, but july in Michigan means grass, gunk and slime. Swimjig, t-rig, jig doesn't matter, I'm bringing in vegetation. 😢

[@tacticalbassin]

We've got a video we're getting ready tonwork on to help you with that 👍🏼

[@hardtokill1509]

Hey, was out today and I could see a bait ball on the surface; not blowing up but just corralled right under the surface of the water in the middle of the pond. What’s a good bait to throw into that bait ball? I feel like I could see bass striking about a foot under water

[@tacticalbassin]

A soft jerkbait or an underspin would both be great options

That style of bait doesn't do much for us, but we try to keep an open mind.

I like to think Matt's boat is worth less than the amount of tackle in it.

You guys literally don't even teach us how to catch fish anymore. You guys are literally a commercial now. I've watched it change into this over the years. Sad I've been with you guys for at least 4 years

[@cbarrientos512]

Who cares what u think?

[@jesseboyden3119]

@cbarrientos512 I mean hopefully matt and tim care what their viewers and subs think because we indirectly pay their bills? Right? By that logic they don't care about u either 😂

[@fishingwithjakea2433]

There’s no way all the company’s are paying them to sell there stuff they show case way to many products/brands every year they definitely make some money off there tackle warehouse links but I think for the most part they invest it back into tackle and trying new gear to give feedback to the followers of the channel at least there not promoting garbage gear and tackle like most KZbin guys are today Just my opinion

[@tacticalbassin]

Sorry you feel that way Jesse. You may not realize that we have a handful of different content types we cover frequently. It's obvious you don't enjoy the "bait" videos, but you may have overlooked the in depth seminars by subject, the actual fishing videos, old school trchnique coverage, electronics explanations, etc. They're spaced evenly on purpose, so the community gets a full range of content constantly. If you don't like one type, you won't get it twice in a row, assuming you're watching new content.

[@thomasholderfield9944]

I was just going to reply to his comment. These videos are quick “here’s 5 (+\-) baits to use this month”. You guys still teach a ton in your seminar videos, or one can watch your full uncut fishing trip videos and learn TONS!! Keep up the great work!!! Also just bought my first Tactical DD crank yesterday, and became the second person I know to catch a bass on the first cast with that bait! Speed Cranking in summer!!!

[@mrjimenez11]

What rods, lines, and reels, are good for each of these?
