Join Bassmaster Elite Series Pro Matt Arey and NPFL angler Todd Goade from Pulse Fish as they dive deep into advanced bass fishing tactics! This exclusive Bass University Live session covers everything from the versatile Pulse Jig to the innovative Side Piece bladed jig alternative, offering crucial insights for serious anglers.

Learn how the Pulse Jig, available in 1/8 oz, 3/8 oz, and 5/8 oz sizes, is a fish-catching machine for various scenarios. Matt Arey highlights its effectiveness for deep ledge fishing, schooling fish, and specifically the 1/8 oz Pulse Jig as a "sleeper" bait for fall bass fishing when fish are keying in on small bait. Discover how to rig and fish it, even skipping it around docks and shallow cover, and the ideal rod and reel setups including the Pulse Fish Cut Maker and Check Casher rods. Todd Goade also shares his success using the quarter-ounce Pulse Jig in grass lines at Lake Guntersville and for smallmouth bass fishing with a black Pulse Jig.

A significant portion of the discussion focuses on Forward-Facing Sonar (FFS), specifically ActiveTarget 2 tips and strategies. Matt Arey, a long-time Bass University instructor, details his approach to using FFS and his perspective on the recent Bassmaster Elite Series rule changes that split tournaments with and without FFS. He emphasizes the need for limitations in professional sports regarding technology to maintain the challenge and skill of tournament bass fishing.

Todd Goade introduces the groundbreaking Pulse Fish Side Piece, a bladed jig alternative designed with a spinnerbait frame that boasts incredible hunting action and excels at clearing grass. Learn how this popular lure, available in 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz, can be effective around rocks, wood, and even skipped under boat docks. Todd recounts a phenomenal smallmouth bass bite on the Side Piece at Lake Oneida.

Beyond lures, the hosts discuss fall turnover effects on fish behavior, the importance of matching the hatch, and the broader impact of technology on bass fishing.

Whether you're looking to refine your fall bass fishing strategies, understand the nuances of forward-facing sonar, or discover new lures for pressured fish, this seminar offers invaluable knowledge from top pros.
