Soft Stick Baits...Slow Sink to Trophy Bass!

Professional Angler, Lance Vick, has teamed up with SERVICE VENDING CO. and ACCESS FORD to bring you the following bass fishing tips and techniques:


Slow Sink to a Big Bass

Throughout the spring the most effective technique is a soft stick bait rigged weightless.
Soft stick baits have evolved into the most popular technique for a good reason. Soft stick baits catch fish…Big fish… under all conditions.
Rigging a soft stick bait is quite simple. The top two ways are: “Wacky” and Weightless (This is just like you would rig a worm just minus the weight).
Soft stick baits work because of the slow fall and their tempting wiggle.
Colors and sizes of soft stick baits are many. Experiment with different styles and colors and sizes of soft stick baits until you find your favorite for your body of water.
My favorites for Lake Fork are the Grande Bass rattlesnake and honcho in the watermelon red flake, green pumpkin, water melon seed and black and blue fleck.
My color choices are directly related to weather and water. During sunny days and clear water I go with watermelon red and watermelon seed. On cloudy days in off-colored water I go with green pumpkin and a black and blue fleck.
Fish with weightless soft plastics around cover and in water that is one to six feet deep—in spawning areas.
Focus your efforts in cover such as grass, stumps and lay-downs.
Use medium heavy gear…And be ready to handle Big Bass!
