They Don’t Throw These Anymore (Big Mistake)
02/19/2026
In the age of forward facing sonar and tiny minnow rigs, it can feel like that’s the only way people catch bass anymore. But nothing could be further from the truth.
There are a pile of old school bass lures that have survived decades of pressure and trends — and they still catch fish day in, day out, year round.
This video digs into a bunch of proven classics, including topwater legends, weedless & search baits, classic and discontinued crankbaits, and old-school soft plastics that still shine.
Glenn explains why these baits still work, how he rigs and fishes them, where they shine against pressured fish, and how “forgotten” profiles and actions often outperform the trendy stuff the bass see all day.
You don’t need forward facing sonar to catch them — and you definitely don’t have to fish the same jig-and-minnow everyone else is throwing.
