You needed something to flip bushes with, a worm to cover water with to look for males, something to pitch when you come across fish on beds, and of course you always need a Chatterbait on when fishing in the springtime. Here&#8217;s my full recap and notes on each set-up below:<\/p>\n<p>For flipping bushes in shallow water, I used the NEW BMT Craw Missile Baits D Bomb sold exclusively at BMT Outdoors with a 1\/4 oz Beast Coast tungsten weight and 5\/0 heavy cover hook on a 7&#8217;6&#8243; Alpha Angler Hitter with 65lb Seaguar Smackdown braid on an 8:1 Quantum Smoke S3 reel. <\/p>\n<p>As a search bait, I used a Merthiolate trick worm with a 4\/0 hook on a 7&#8242; Alpha Angler Top Hammer with 30lb Seaguar Smackdown braid on an 8:1 Quantum Smoke S3 reel.<\/p>\n<p>For pitching into beds, I used a Green Pumpkin Missile Baits Crawfather on a 7&#8217;3&#8243; Alpha Angler Zilla with 20lb Abrazx fluorocarbon on an 8:1 Quantum Smoke S3 reel. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, a green pumpkin Zman Jack Hammer Chatterbait on a 7&#8217;3&#8243; Alpha Angler Zilla with 20lb Seaguar Abrazx fluorocarbon on an 8:1 Quantum Smoke S3 reel. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.quantumfishing.com\/reels\/baitcast\/smoke-series.html\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.quantumfishing.com\/reels\/baitcast\/smoke-series.html<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alphaangler.com\/collections\/rods\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.alphaangler.com\/collections\/rods<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/seaguar.com\/freshwater\/fluorocarbon\/abrazx\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/seaguar.com\/freshwater\/fluorocarbon\/abrazx<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/seaguar.com\/freshwater\/new-lines\/smackdown-stealth-gray\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/seaguar.com\/freshwater\/new-lines\/smackdown-stealth-gray<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bmtoutdoors.com\/products\/missile-d-bomb-bmt-craw-25-pack\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bmtoutdoors.com\/products\/missile-d-bomb-bmt-craw-25-pack<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/missilebaits.store\/products\/craw-father\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/missilebaits.store\/products\/craw-father<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There were 4 key approaches to catching bass on Lake Fork during Stage Three of the Bass Pro Tour March 13-18th, 2020.
