The Best Tackle for Bass Fishing

We're here to make sure you get the right bass tackle for any adventure. As far as rods and reels go, most bass fishing lures can be thrown on either baitcasting or spinning tackle. A quality baitcasting reel or spinning reel from companies such as 13 Fishing, Daiwa, Lew's and Shimano will make your fishing much more enjoyable. One of the most popular reels on the market is the Shimano Curado DC, while reels like the 13 Fishing Concept Z and the Daiwa Tatula with a T-Wing System have brought all-new technology to the market in recent years. Rods to match your intended application are available from these companies plus others like Dobyns, G. Loomis, Megabass, St. Croix, Duckett and more, giving you options when looking for that perfect rod and reel combination.

When it comes to lures, the plethora of options can seem rather daunting. Ever-changing fishing conditions and the way fish react to them can create the need to keep a wide variety of lures in your tackle box. Some days you will catch more bass "power-fishing" with lures like a crankbait, chatterbait or spinnerbait while other times you will need to break out the finesse fishing gear like a wacky-rigged Gary Yamamoto Senko, a shakeyhead, a dropshot rig or the popular "Ned Rig." Are you fishing around heavy cover like lily pads or thick grass mats? Try throwing a hollow-body frog like a Spro Bronzeye Frog — or bring out the heavy flipping and pitching gear and tie on a Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver, Strike King Rage Craw, or Berkley Powerbait Pit Boss. Knowing when to switch up your approach can make the difference between your new personal best bass and a long drive home after catching the skunk.

Those are just some of the choices you have for bass fishing gear. There are also an assortment of lines, leader and terminal tackle to help you land a prize catch.
