Hey everybody, Mike Iaconelli here, and in this brand new Ike in the Shop episode, we’re diving into my Top 4 Baits for BIG Bass in June! 🎣🔥
From Lake Champlain to Lake Okeechobee, this guide has you covered. I’m breaking down two baits for the northern half of the country and two baits for the southern half — so no matter where you fish, you’re ready to catch ‘em during one of the best months of the year.
🎉 Oh — and June 17th is my birthday… and honestly, nothing would make me happier than helping you guys catch a big June bass. That’s the best gift for a guy like me! 🐟

💣 Here’s What You’ll Learn:
✅ Post-spawn to summer transition — what’s happening under the water ✅ The baitfish bass are chasing in June (and how to match ‘em) ✅ My favorite ways to rig a fluke (Texas-rigged vs jighead) ✅ Why a spinnerbait gives you control in changing conditions ✅ How a football jig dominates deep southern ledges ✅ When to switch to punching in thick summer grass ✅ Why a deep crankbait can trigger giant reaction bites
Whether you’re targeting suspended smallmouth up north or dragging jigs on Tennessee River ledges down south — these baits flat out catch ’em.
