🔥Top 4 Baits for August Bass Fishing🎣

Hey everybody, Mike Iaconelli back out in the shop with another great one for you!

In this episode, I’m laying out my Top 4 Baits for August Bass Fishing — because let’s face it: August is HOT. I don’t care if you’re in Texas or New Jersey, the heat is real and the bass know it.

The trick? Deeper. Thicker. Current. That’s where the bass live in August — and these 4 baits match those exact summer patterns.

🔼 For the North:
✅ Ned Rig finesse magic
✅ Neko Rig bottom peckers

🔽 For the South:
✅ Punch Rig (go DEEP in the mats)
✅ Walking Frog (find the shade & explosion zones)

Whether you’re fishing in clear northern lakes or down south in oppressive heat, these baits will help you catch more fish during the dog days of summer.

🎣 Drop your favorite August bait in the comments — I wanna hear it!
