Designed and hand-packed by our pro staff, the TTS Bass Kit takes the guesswork out of finesse bass fishing. Open the box and you have the soft plastics and hooks for weedless finesse rigs. Add your own sinkers or jig heads for Ned, shaky-head, or drop-shot setups.

What’s Inside:

  • 6 T-Worms – colors hand-selected for clear, stained, and dirty water
  • 3 Rocket Squids – a compact finesse creature bait
  • 6 Hooks – sized for weedless rigging
  • Compact Tackle Box – keeps everything organized and protected

Whether you're targeting smallmouth on rocky points, largemouth in grass, or spotted bass in deep clear water, this kit has you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the TTS Bass Kit?

Six T-Worms, three Rocket Squids, six hooks, and a compact tackle box. It is a hand-curated finesse assortment meant to cover docks, grass edges, rock, and wood without five separate bags. Exact color mix can vary by season. Need a specific colorway? Email gapen@gapen.com or call 1.877.623.2099.

Is this kit for largemouth, smallmouth, or both?

Both. Largemouth eat these profiles around docks, pads, and laydowns. Smallmouth — especially river and rocky-lake fish — eat the compact profiles on a stand-up or Ned-style presentation. Use lighter pieces in clear water; step up profile or weight in stain and heavy cover.

What rod, reel, and line should I use?

A 6'6"–7'3" medium-light or medium spinning rod with a 1000–2500 reel. Spool 6–10 lb fluorocarbon for clear lakes, or 10–15 lb braid with an 8–12 lb fluoro leader around grass and wood. A Gapen Wilderness spinning rod is the intended feel: enough tip to feel the tick, enough backbone to turn a fish off a piling.

How do I fish the baits?

  • T-Worm on a Ned or shaky head: 1/16–1/10 oz head (not included). Drag 6–12 inches, pause 2–4 seconds. Most bites come on the pause.
  • Creature / Rocket Squid: Texas or Tokyo-style punch around pads and docks. Pitch, fall on slack, two short hops.

If you are not getting bit, slow down before you change colors.

What colors work best for bass?

  • Clear / sun: green pumpkin, watermelon, smoke, natural craw.
  • Stained: chartreuse, black/blue, junebug, orange craw.
  • Low light: black, black/blue.
  • Season rule from Dan Gapen Sr.: light colors in spring and fall, dark in mid-summer.

Will these snag in rock and wood?

Light Texas or Ned rigs come through cover well. If you wedge in a crevice, do not horse it — point the rod at the snag, give slack, then a short pop from a new angle.

Is the Bass Kit good for beginners and gifts?

Yes. It skips the $80 tackle-aisle guess. Include a note: start with the smallest profile on a light head and drag it slowly along the first weed edge.

Are these made in the USA?

TTS baits are designed and manufactured in Iowa as part of the Gapen & Tactical Tackle Systems family.

How fast do kits ship?

TTS ships from Iowa. Orders on gapen.com ship from Iowa. $3.95 shipping on orders over $75 (see current cart for live rates). Made-to-order color packs can add 2–5 production days. Confirm stock at 1.877.623.2099.

Can I request colors?

Yes on many TTS packs. Put colors in the order notes or email gapen@gapen.com. No note = a working assorted mix.

Bass vs. Walleye vs. Panfish vs. Variety Kit?

Species kits keep you from paying for baits you will not throw. The Variety Kit is the one-box option for a lake that holds all three — expert-selected pieces, usually at a bundle price.
