Brandon Cobb is know for fishing a buzzbait, and, given the right conditions, he will fish it all year. Brandon also loves fishing other topwater (and slightly sub-surface baits), and there are times that they will outperform a buzzbait. He believes that there are some big fish that are more susceptible to topwater lures that any other bait, but you have to have the right one during the right season and conditions. In this bass fishing class seminar video, Brandon Cobb shares his favorite baits & tackle for fishing topwater throughout the year. Learn what baits to fish from 45 degree water to the shad spawn to schooling fish and through the fall turnover.
