Bassin’ for Reds
Episode 4
Fishermen have known for decades that a bladed spinnerbait or buzzbait is a dynamite lure for largemouth bass in weedy cover. Snags aren’t a problem and the noise and flash they put out is irresistible. Turns out that those same qualities appeal to red drum in brackish waters too. Learn how Editor Terry Gibson uses the whir, or buzz, of the bladed baits to drive these fish crazy.
And it’s not just the freshwater spinner bait that works on the salt water reds. Join Mike Conner as he fishes with Shane Batchelor with the all time versatile worm and tube bait. There are many tricks to making these sweetwater baits work in the salt, you’ll just have to tune in to learn them.
