Catching a bass—especially a big one—can be a daunting pursuit for the unprepared. How to be effective at bass fishing depends on a number of factors, including weather, habitat, and the type of tackle used.
In Swimbaits, lifelong angler James Root uncovers all the specifics behind achieving success on the lake, river, or pond with swimbaits of all kinds. This comprehensive handbook includes key information about fishing for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, and stripers with big baits. He offers different tips depending on the season, weather, and fishing location (with comments from local pros) from California to New York.
In addition, Root explains the birth of the big bait approach in Japan and its evolution from simple rubber baits to hand-carved items that fetch a pretty price. Key baits—such as Huddlestons, Romanmade, and Bullshad Swimbaits—and their stories are also covered. Other key figures in big bait history are featured, including interviews with Mike Long, Mike Bucca, Brandon Palaniuk, and more. Plus there’s a bonus chapter on the newest trend of fishing monster brown and rainbow trout with swimbaits.
Swimbaits, which features 150 color photographs, is the perfect gift for anyone eager to learn all the tips and tricks of bass fishing!
