Top 5 Baits For March Bass Fishing!

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Heading out to some Local Ponds to have a go, but when I return, I will be sure to watch and see which 11 baits comprise Matt's Top 5. 🙂 . Have a great day everyone, and good luck out there!

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Thanks Matt! I scored with a Chatterbait today. I don't throw the Jackhammer; too many hook-eating stumps around here (Florida) for me to risk such a high-$ bait from the bank. The KVD Ocho on a Texas Rig also joined the fun; that silly thing has probably been my most productive stick bait of the year so far. It's really not my favorite stick, but for some reason it's been very good lately. Keep up the great work Matt and Tim and have a great weekend, everyone!

Hey I just uploaded my fist fishing video in years and would love your honest thoughts! I also don’t spam comments like this but since it’s my first video back I’m trying to get some traction!

Agreed! I got into Bass fishing heavily about 3 years ago and learned so much from this channel. I've caught so many big fish and using these tips makes it so much more fun!!

@@mikepirrone97 yes! Unfortunately, this generation is more on tiktoks and stuff. Sad. Kid cussing and stuff, gets a million subs. 🙄🙄🙄

Caught a seven pounder this year already on the jackhammer with a spunk shad. Wacked em last night on Lake Wylie SC with the keitech, net bait t Mac junebug, the Rocco ! It was an insane night of action. Thanks TB

[@Braunschweiger89]

I really appreciate not only your alls knowledge, but also your enthusiasm and spunkiness. As a re-emerging angler, I’ve gotten up to speed on so many things watch like all of your vids. Keep it up and THANKS!

[@joshwhaaa9606]

Just wanted to share that this page and video lead me to my new pb over the weekend. Fished a small pond deep enough to throw everything suggested . Ended up doing the most damage on the 1/8 oz underspin and a sungill 2.8 keitech. Caught a bunch of bucks on a western clown 110 jr jerk bait using a whipsnake rod with 15lb braid to 8lb . Then it happend , she couldnt resist the clown . 8 lbr took it on the last hook about 5 yards from the boat. Thanks guys , appreciate the work you put in so I dont have to .

Love these videos! Subscribed! Just getting back into fishing after about 15 years and my biggest challenge is trying to pick the right color combos, keep rocking it!

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

I'm just one voice in the crowd, but I think TB is in the conversation as the best bass fishing channel on KZbin. Matt and Tim have a great blend of angling proficiency and teaching skill that's really hard to beat. If you have not already done so, go back through their library of videos, as there's some great stuff back there. Welcome back and good luck out there!

I caught some good ones on a red craw, red eyed shad lipless other day.

Great content man. Thank you! I subscribed whenever you showed your tempo on the reel and how you twitch the rod. Thank you for that, so much!

Thanks for all the work yall put in to help out everyone else on the water. I have been wanting to ask. How many double digit fish have you two each caught?

[@hagglakefishing]

I have to admit that the mini a-rig looks pretty awesome. I think I might need to get me a few.

[@johnmango6056]

the strike king hybrid hunter and the 13 fishing jabber jaw. 2 of my personal favorites.

Not only do I yoyo my lipless I also do that technique sometimes with my chatterbaits.

[@zackmcdougle1109]

This is the way

[@austinboggs]

Hey Matt! Love your guys videos. Your content has taken my fishing to the next level. I have something I really think you should try out. If you get the chance. Try the Z MAN DARTER Z as a chatterbait trailer! Trim about an inch off of the front and thread it on. It's pure magic just like the Spunk Shad!

[@USMCdad470]

Damm I might have to try this. I've yet to get my first catch for 2023 😑

[@michaelhayes660]

What color??

[@meikasroom851]

Went to the river yesterday, had a shad colored chatter bait and a 4" keitech shad swimbait as a trailer. Really dirty water and moving current. I was bouncing it off rocks and pulled up a solid 4 pounder. Realing then popping it. He smashed that chatter man. Great bait

[@Nickolas7979]

I just caught one in a foot of water yesterday on a micro chatterbait with a ned sized red rage craw trailer. It looks lethal 🤘🏽

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

I'm gonna try the 3" pitboss as a trailer for the mini, pit boss is 1 of my goto for the jackhammer

[@clintonbruning]

@@tims_always_fishing7117 I’ve seen some guys catch double digits in the spring in Fort Worth just flipping pit bosses

[@morgannyce7987]

I'm so excited now that I finally have the right rod setup to throw big swimbaits on! I love a-rigs but the only issue I tend to have when using them for cast and retrieve is most of the time I reel it back in and the line is all twisted and tangled around the head of the rig. I primarily only use the a-rigs when I'm trolling and they work very well for that with little issues

[@andrewboyce7268]

You're using braid aren't you? Maybe try 20lb Fluro, it can handle the A-Rig and takes a lot to break it.

Thats awesome missile bait has the spunk shadv

[@coreycaudle8291]

Carolina rig and jigs are the key around here right now

[@vincentgelles3805]

I have been smashing large heads on a wacky rig in my local pond these last 2 weeks. As much as I love to power fish, they have been killing the wacky worm. I’ve been throwing the Missile baits 48 with those VMC crossover rings on a weighted wacky hook. If you guys haven’t thrown the 48 you should give it a try. I can actually feel it vibrating in my rod tip when I lift it, almost like a lipless but not quite as much vibration. I don’t feel that with a Senko. From now on I’m using Senko for t-rigs and the 48 for wacky rigging.

[@andrewboyce7268]

Shhhhhhhhh. Don't be telling folks the wacky rig absolutely crushes in early spring. 😆 Best part you can use crazy colors like bright orange, pink etc. My biggest bass last year was an early Wacky Rigged senko.

Man I wish I could go fishing for some bass. Stripper season doesn’t start till the 1st in upstate New York. Just got my new kayak and I’m ready to be out there every sunset now fishing for those Smallies and large mouth

[@USMCdad470]

Great information, brother. Will this work out here in CA? Heading out this weekend, it's been so cold and lots or rain and snow

[@FishingWithDL]

Matt, when you said you like a lot of flash in your jerkbaits it got me wondering if you ever throw any Yozuri jerkbaits? They have that holographic foil on the inside of the bait and I've been absolutely slaying on them. I also think it would be cool to do an episode of some of your favorite baits when fishing shallow rivers in the jet boat. Tight lines 🎣

[@501Bassin_SWarb]

Y’all should try out a Strike King hybrid hunter around submerging grass in March if y’all haven’t already. Talk about a loud and erratic fish catching machine!🎣🎣🎣Thank me later.

[@xDx0xUxGx]

Are you planning on testing the Berkley Power Stinger?

[@mjc1535]

Seems like these are getting earlier and earlier before the month or season. Next year it'll be March baits in January LOL. Good stuff guys

[@andrewboyce7268]

Chartreuse Jerkbaits crush right now. You can also finesse with wacky rigs, and jigs. Kind of stunned a swim jig isn't on this list

[@txhuntsman]

I know the chatterbait is the big thing the last few years but I don’t know how you leave the spinnerbait off this list. It’s absolutely tried and true for decades and IMO More versatile that the chatter.

[@jonathanrivera6815]

I've had fun using the duo realis gfix vibration 68 as a alternative to the LV 500

[@clintonbruning]

Duo baits are so nice! I’ve caught a bunch of 5-6 pounders this winter on their shad 57MR jerkbaits, and I just caught a 6 on a duo mid roller 40F in red last week. All on 4-6 lb line on BFS too.

The Duo 68 G-Fix are flat out awesome baits compact and heavy and the Nitro 65 is phenomenal when fishing shallower water and when wanting to reel slower and still get that vibration.

Xzone doesn’t make a pro blue red pearl Color…yet.. hope they do! That’s a staple. Their electric shad color is great though. Love Xzone. Last year i got a coupon code from them and strictly used their plastics. Have so much confidence in them.

[@richbarto6409]

Jerk down and real, side to side twitch, or do it with the real only? Like speed real for half a turn or full turn on A5 excetra gear and do you really need a 8.1?

[@Group115Fishing]

What about spinnerbaits TacticalBassin?

[@Milehighsnake98]

Mini Max with the Strike King Rage Ned Cut-R worm. Try it.

[@waynetop6332]

Hey guys great video ! Would you consider using these baits/techniques in N.J. ? Air Temps are ranging from low 30’S to mid 50’s.

[@TravisDoesKayakFishing]

I know I am not them (not even close), but I would say some, just slower than you would in March. That A-rig, jerk bait, and lipless and can get you bites in those temps. A flat-side crankbait and drop shot are your friends too. Rocks, green grass, and good stacking points IMO. Pretty much what we do in SC from Jan to Feb.

[@calebriemer8763]

Random question. What size split rings do yall use on standard size squarebills, poppers etc.

I’m not a huge fan of that shimano jerkbait, it has a ton of resistance compared to other jerkbaits. That’s the exact color I bought too. Love the square bill though.
