A Simple and Deadly Approach to Fishing Swimbaits 

I watched this a couple times this past year. Just to remind me to keep it simple!!! I've never had another lure show out for me better than a simple swimbait rigged like this. I primarily use the Strike King Rage Tail ones. I tend to get to overthinking...so I come back to this video! Thank you for it.

I just moved recently to a town right on Kentucky Lake. I've been fishing for many years when I lived in Illinois and never caught a bass. I went out this weekend and bought a bunch of swimbaits, hoping that I'll get my first bass soon! This video really helped me understand how I need to fish this lure.

I like the caffeine shad so much more than the newer swimbait Strike King came out with.

great video..right to the point..no goofy commentary

I like how you fish. Keep it simple.

I like the way you tell it ! Just keep it simple. I don't subscribe a lot but, I just did 👍🏻💯

..it ain't brain surgery..lol

Easiest way for me to k ow it at the bottom is wait...simple and then reel in..

Open hook doesn’t work in the sticks and stumps. Weedless all the way for me.

Good stuff! Thank you for sharing.

I agree with you!!!! Simple is always better!!!!!!!

Very good information! Great underwater video

Wonderful video!

thanks for the simple explanation, so many baits out their and boutique baits for 50.00 each, this is more my speed, grew up fishing with Manns Jelly worms!

I deeply truely envy fisherman who have the luxury of fishing a swim bait using a fully exposed hook year round as it is a utterly deadly presentation Unfortunately in the lakes I do 90% of my fishing in only from about early to mid March to late April can I fish a swim bait using a bare hook and then I absolutely must keep it near the surface of the weed growth Come end of April early May its weedless T-Rigged presentations or reel in a coffee can sized clump of weeds 8/10 casts Don't get me wrong I do exceptionally well on T-rigged flukes and swimbaits all year long but I really miss the 90-95 hookup ratio of a bare hook like with using a chatterbait or jig head or under spin jig head.

Complicated shirt, simple fishing

Can you use a normal leadhead jig with these? I fish a lot of rocky places for walleyes......I loose a TON of leadheads slow rolling and just barely coming in contact with the rocks/concrete chunks that form the reefs in our lake. Losing an expensive jighead just doesn't sit well with me, haha.

great video. Thank you!

Look up down south lures. I pulled out 20 bass in about a few hours on white ice

right on david keep it simple

Can anyone suggest a size keitech super round tungsten for a 3" easyshiner keitech ?

Awesome in flowing river's also

Throw the bite until reaches 10 fight

Thank you bro. You are the Ricky Bobby of fishing

Excellent video. I have a place on Ky Lake. Liked and subscribed

ammazing fishing in 2014 . nice trik and tips

thank you for sharing👍

I absolutely love fishing swimbaits. What I don't love is the horrible hook up and losing ratio of most swimbaits. You can get a hundred bites but if you only get 1 in the boat it doesn't matter. I'll take a zoom superfluke on a 5/0 gamakatsu superline hook anyday. Easy 95 percent hook up and land ratio. I've never lost one on a fluke missed only a few

If your fishing in weeds and junk, go weedless..you will catch just as many fish. That's mostly all I use here in Louisiana swamp grass

I am convinced that swimbaits are useless in dirty water. I have caught many fish with swim baits in cleaner lakes. At High Rock which is the dirtiest water that I have ever seen, I have caught two fish with swimbaits in 6 years of trying.

Is it me or does that shirt make the video look CNN'd?

How about vertical jigging? Seem like a good lure for that.

What gear ratio is good for swimbaits?

I use trailer hooks on swimbaits in the river

Anybody else have the overwhelming need for a dip?? And I have never chewed tobacco in my life. 😆

Beautiful lake, where is that?

Doesn’t sink rate change as water pressure and temperature change? Or is this one of those close enough is close enough things?

My go too swimbait for sure

Seems like he's tired of telling people how to fish...is it just me? I mean it isn't rocket science....

Great video thanks this is the way I fish in back bay fishing thanks

( kiss ) method - (K)eep (i)t (s)imple (s)tupid. 👍🏻

how do i get or where can i buy your shirt??

Favorite way to fish a swimbait👍🔥🎣

I’ve got a Duckett inshore. It’s just FINE 😉👍🏻🎣

When I reel in my swimbaits it starts to make an arch and starts to flip over and pull through the water oddly instead of a straight line towards me? What's up with that?

Ona dock. Ona ledge.ona bank. Ona beach. Ona pond. Ona lake. Ona ...........

very good video.

I Always go with the smaller paddle tails you just get a lot of action

nice vid. thank u

I love swim baits

Look like a shakey head hook you was using with that line tie

I learned some good tips thanks!

0:35 and 1:55 voice crAck

You got a cool accent.

Thanks buddy makes sense!

Thanks for the video, subscribed! What rod power and action is best suited for this technique

sick swimbait!

I'm WIRED 2 FISH!

👏🏾👏🏾

Boy I tell ya wut

Fish is luck as much as anything you can put a bait on a fish for 10 minutes if they dont wznt what you put on them and just not feeding it's a done deal but these guys have to tell you what they think

Maybe you want to replace the word "deadly" with "effective". I'm assuming you're not gut hooking all these fish and ripping out the hook and killing them.

That's a crappie jig.

Good video thanks👍🏿

So you get more fishing time getting hug up and breaking off with an exposed hook than you do fishing weedless?

Funny hiw much better these type of baits work tgan expensive hard baits

You know it's good when he has a hillbilly accent

First off one will hit. Don't keep changing. U b missed

If you want to know we're the fish at. First get a lure. And keep it at a certain depth. Know one is for real. Fish can be anywhere.
