Winter & Spring Shallow Cranking for Bass – Bill Lowen

Shallow crankbait fishing should be a part of any angler’s arsenal, especially for late winter and early springtime bass fishing. While bass are transitioning from their winter patterns to pre-spawn, many are gorging on crawfish and other baitfish. This pre-spawn feeding frenzy makes shallow cranking a perfect technique to match everything on their menu. In this seminar, Bill Lowen breaks down how to fish shallow crankbaits during the late winter and early spring.

Lowen breaks down the key differences between lipless, squarebill, and flat-sided crankbaits. Each of the three plays a very different, but crucial role in any anglers lineup. Lowen also explains how to retrieve each of the three baits, and shares his tips for fishing flat-sided and squarebill crankbaits in heavy cover.

Topwater Baits & How to Fish Them – Bernie Schultz Remastered

Topwater fishing is one of the most exciting ways for anglers to catch bass. While every lure has a time and a place, it’s hard to argue against seeing a bass explode on a bait with your own eyes. Topwater baits come in all shapes and sizes: poppers, chuggers, prop baits, walking baits, buzz baits, and even frogs. In this seminar, Bernie Schultz will explain how each of those baits has a time and place throughout the year.

Schultz highlights the best rods, reels, and line for various topwater lures, and how to retrieve each one. Schultz also discusses some of his favorite modifications and the history of topwater lures.

Spoons : The Most Overlooked Bass Fishing Lure – Bryan Thrift

A spoon is one of the most under-utilized tools in many anglers’ lineups, but this versatile technique is something you can use to target fish all year. While jigging spoons fished vertically over cover excel in the cooler months, casting and flutter spoons shine during the warmer months when bass are actively chasing baitfish. In this seminar, Bryan Thrift explains his tips and tricks for spoon fishing. Thrift explains just how he fishes jigging spoons during the winter months like December, January & February to help catch more bass.

Thrift also explains just how unique flutter spoons are. Not only for fishing offshore structure during the summer months like June, July & August, but how you can swim a spoon to target schooling bass as well.
