top 3 baits for big bass during the PRE-spawn

[James Niggemeyer]

Was think about what historically produces better than average quality fish and in my opinion these are the Top 3 "traditional" baits that consistently produce better than average fish during the pre spawn period.  

 

 

Thanks for watching!

WOW!

What are the 3?

 

I would need to think a bit, but I am pretty sure that jig and chatterbait are 2 of my 3.

 Spinnerbait and   jig  definitely . I prefer a lipped crank over the lipless though . Who is this guy anyhow ? Some wannabe ?   ?

Thanks for sharing this, James! It's awesome to see such accomplished anglers such as yourself on here helping regular guys like us out. Really appreciate it!

I do much better fishing with moving baits this time of year. Lipless crankbaits, shallow running crankbaits, and spinnerbaits catch most of my bass.

Nice video!

I couldn't get by with 3.

Thanks James, great to see ya on forum. I've always got a jig on and either spinnerbait or bladed jig depending on cover.

Well, the Alabama Rig is banned at the professional level, but EVERYONE else should have

one tied on in the spring.

I've never used it. I don't even know my own state's laws on the matter but I've been told it's banned in some states.

Minnesota allows up to 3 hooks on one line...but the total, combined distance between hooks cannot exceed 9". So I could rig a 3-bait A-Rig with 3" runs from the core...kind of useless really.
