Come along for a day of bass fishing in a swamp! We're out on the road exploring new lakes and we've found ourselves in the middle of a Southern cypress swamp. Watch as we break down this diverse fishery and catch bass amongst its endless grass lines and fields of standing timber!
Its rare to see Tim and Matt slow down and fish with plastics. Today is very much a traditional bass fishing day as the duo do all their damage with plastic worms. While they got bit on a handful of reaction baits, Matt caught his fish with a big curly tail worm and Tim found success with a shaky head.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were fishing, as well as the rods and reels they were using to present them effectively. We've also included their terminal tackle, bait colors, and any other pertinent information. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
