Fishing For Bass, Striped Bass And Other Predator Species With Artificial Lures! (Tennessee)

Come along for an awesome day of fishing! Matt is targeting Striper, AKA Striped Bass, AKA Rock Fish, but that’s not all he catches! From big largemouth to big catfish, it’s a day filled with screaming drags and big fish! Many anglers target these fish with bait, but the guys at TacticalBassin enjoy catching these predatory fish with the same baits they use to target big largemouth bass.

Striped Bass provide a saltwater-like experience, without the expense of driving to the ocean. If you’re looking to try something different, give striper fishing a try. They’re going to rip drag and bend hooks, so be ready! While many anglers bait fish for these species, we choose to target them with swimbaits, Alabama Rigs, and even mid strolling baits.

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact sizes and colors, along with the rods and reels he used to muscle these fish to the boat. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
