Prespawn to Spawn Smallmouth Bass Fishing – Where to Find Them and What to Fish

Описание: Spring is one of the best times of the year to chase smallmouth and spotted bass, and in this video Kevin VanDam shows why a jerkbait is one of the most reliable lures you can throw during the prespawn and spawn. Fishing the clear waters of Lake Lanier, Kevin breaks down how an erratic jerkbait presentation can trigger bites from fish that might not react to anything else.

Even when bass are cruising shallow flats or locked onto beds, Kevin explains why a jerkbait can force a reaction strike. The sudden darting action, long pauses, and flash mimic an injured baitfish and trigger that instinctive strike bass simply can’t ignore.

Kevin is dialing in the bite using his KVD Elite Series Jerkbait, rigged with Mustad KVD Triple Grip hooks for maximum hook-up percentage. Paired with a Lew’s rod and reel, this setup allows him to work the bait precisely and keep fish pinned once they strike.

Throughout the video you'll see how Kevin approaches clear-water fisheries like Lake Lanier during the prespawn-to-spawn transition, including:
• Why jerkbaits trigger reaction strikes even from bedding fish
• How to work a jerkbait over shallow flats and spawning areas
• Cadence adjustments that get pressured bass to bite
• The gear Kevin trusts when throwing jerkbaits in clear water

If you love spring bass fishing, this is a technique you’ll want tied on every time you hit the water. A jerkbait truly is one of those lures that can get bites when nothing else will.
