May through July is when bass can be shallow, deep, and everywhere in between—and that’s exactly why so many anglers waste the day. In this episode, Jordan Lee breaks down the 5 baits he trusts most to narrow it down fast, from frogging shallow cover to fishing a big worm offshore, with the exact little tweaks that can turn a good pattern into a winning one.

What you’ll learn: • How Jordan decides whether to stay shallow or slide offshore in May, June, and July • Why a popping frog gets the nod so often postspawn, and when he switches to a walking frog • The frog tweaks he uses, including Flashabou tails and the rattle trick that helped in a Toho win • Why a swim jig is such a strong follow-up bait around shad spawn, shade, and shoreline cover • How he fishes a Neko rig, including the 2 nail-weight styles and when each one matters • The Neko mistake he’ll never make again with hooks and weed guards • Why bigger worms take over from late May into July, and how big is too big • Why Jordan still refuses to overlook shallow fish in summer, even when everyone else is offshore

Guest: Jordan Lee — two-time Bassmaster Classic champion and one of the most versatile pros in the game, with wins shallow, offshore, and under pressure.

This might be the best swim jig trailer nobody uses. In this episode, I break down why pairing a swim jig with a big Texas-rig worm gave me a different profile, better hookup power, and more quality bites around shallow spring cover.

What you’ll learn: • Why a big worm trailer gives a swim jig a different look than the standard trailers most anglers throw • How this setup keeps the hookup power and weedlessness of a swim jig while fixing the missed-fish problem of a swimming worm • Why bigger profile baits can get more attention from better bass in spring grass, brush, and shallow cover • When this combo shines best for targeting bigger fish around spawning areas and territorial bass • When a more traditional swim jig trailer is still the better choice, especially around shad-focused fish • How I retrieve it through grass, over cover, and along subtle depth changes • The rod, reel, and line setup I like for fishing this bait effectively all day

In the full breakdown, I also cover why this trailer choice seems to draw bigger bites, how I compare it to fishing a big worm on a Texas rig, and the exact situations where I keep going back to it when I want a different look without giving up control or hookup ratio.

A swim jig can get a few bites almost anywhere. But if it doesn’t match the cover, depth, and how bass are positioned, you’re leaving too many fish behind. In Part 3, Tom Monsoor breaks down how to choose the right swim jig for the job so you can get more bites, fish cleaner through cover, and catch fish other anglers miss.

What you’ll learn: • How Tom decides where to start with a swim jig on Florida lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and tidal water • How bass position on weed edges, outside grass lines, current runs, and shallow cover • When fish are set up high, suspended, or on bottom — and how that changes the jig you should throw • How current, tide, and changing water direction affect swim jig presentation • Why eelgrass, hydrilla, and other cover types call for different swim jig approaches • When to use lighter versus heavier weed guards and how that affects hookups • Why hook angle, hook sharpness, and small design details matter so much • How Tom thinks about making a swim jig work in clear water, grass, wood, and deeper structure

Guest: Tom Monsoor — legendary swim jig innovator, tournament winner, and one of the best swim jig fishermen ever.
