Topwater Baits And Finesse Tricks For The Early Summer Transition!

Come along for an awesome afternoon on the water! Fish are in transition along the Tennessee River and we're going to catch them! Tim employs some of his best confidence baits to catch the tail end of the post spawn transition and the beginning of the Early Summer bite!

When fish are in transition the bite can get tough. This is when a lot of anglers turn to "junk fishing" with 10 or 15 combos on the deck. We don't take it that far, but we do have some key confidence baits for this time of year. Watch as Tim picks up the right bait for each situation, moving between topwater, subsurface reaction, and finesse presentations.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the video. We've included the exact colors and components for each presentation. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
