About this episode

This episode reveals strategies for catching bigger bass during the spawn, focusing on presentation, bait selection, and reading fish behavior.

n this episode of Before the 1st Cast, we're breaking down exactly how to target bigger bass during the spawn and turn curious fish into committed bites. We cover why keeping your presentation simple wins more fish, when to upsize your bait for larger females, how to read a fish's body language around the bed, and why color choice matters just as much for the angler as it does for the fish. We also get into finesse setups that keep your bait locked in the strike zone longer, how to handle big bass around heavy cover, and when to downsize to a subtle follow-up presentation on pressured fish. With FreshBaitz soft plastics like the Fresh Scorpion, HellaMite, Fresh Beetle, and FreshBaitz Lizards in your arsenal, you'll be ready for every stage of the spawn.
