TOP 4 Baits for OCTOBER (Fall Bass UNLOCKED) Bass Fishing Video

Subscribe on YouTube


Folks at home—welcome back to Ike in the Shop! October is fall, fall, fall… leaves dropping, air temps nosediving up north, and that first real fall push getting started down south. No matter where you live, bass are keying on baitfish—shad, herring, alewife, cisco, shiners. When the groceries move shallow, the bass follow.
In this video I break down my Top 4 October baits and exactly why they work—plus how I rig and size them for the fall bait-size reality (young-of-year = smaller profiles). I split it by latitude: Virginia and north (true fall mode) and south of Virginia (transition but accelerating). We talk weightless vs jig-head flukes, why small-body crankbaits out-bite full-size this month, my confidence compact spinnerbait setup and blade choices, and the mini swim jig with two trailer rules (claws for lift, boot tail for depth).
Give these four a real shot this month and you’re going to catch more fish. If you dig the breakdown, subscribe, share it with your fishing buddies, and keep learning with me—never give up!
