Spring Bass Fishing With Weedless Swimbaits



Shallow mud-bottomed pockets are magnets for active prespawn bass thanks to rapidly warming water temperatures. Wired2Fish’s Ryan DeChaine shares his process for finding the warmest water in the spring and explains how he fishes weedless-rigged swimbaits to eliminate unproductive water and trigger quality bites.

Weedless-rigged paddle tail swimbaits are an excellent lure choice when bass are scattered across large grass flats. Unlike exposed hook baits, weedless swimbaits comb through cover without fouling while representing a variety of baitfish. DeChaine discusses his bait and hook choice as well as rod, reel and line considerations for effectively fishing swimbaits. Check out Chris Zaldain’s MAGDRAFT FREESTYLE rigging video for an in-depth look at getting the most out of this productive lure.

  1. Lately I use your favorite Dark Sleeper to find shallow fish and switch to a larger swimbait when I find active fish. Sometimes bass are feeding on small size bait fish and avoid large ones. Intermixing small and large baits together saves bypassing bites. If you only throw a big swimbaits you might miss bites for that reason. Casting a big rod and lure all day is no fun for a few bites. However, when you find bass eating it is easier to cast big baits for a big fish bite.
