Bass University's on-the-water masterclass is a combination of multiple on-the-water classes from Kevin Vandam, Scott Bonnema, and Luke Palmer. These classes break down three different effective techniques to target big smallmouth bass. 

KVD dives into drop shot fishing. KVD loves to power fish a drop shot for smallmouth and teaches you how to do so. Gear is crucial and Kevin breaks down his rod, reel, and line setup for success with a drop shot. 

Hair jigs are a super effective bait for smallmouth bass, and they often go under the radar. Scott Bonnema and Pete Gluszek are on the water talking about different hair jigs and how to fish this powerful finesse tactic. 

Damiki Rig, Cindy Rig, or whatever you want to call it has proven to be one of the most winning tactics on the pro tour in recent years. Bassmaster Elite Champion Luke Palmer explains how to fish the Cindy rig and why it is an effective technique with FFS. 

If you want to improve your smallmouth game or add some techniques to your arsenal, this masterclass takes a deep dive into some of the most effective smallmouth bass tactics taught by professional anglers.
