My Soft Plastic Jerkbait System | Bass Fishing Tackle Tutorial

45 years old and I for the first time have a favorite professional fisherman / angler. Keep making these videos so very helpful.

Started Kayak bass fishing a couple years ago, you are one of my very favorite teachers. Thank you!!!

“Stevie Wonder in the water “ 😎 Perfect explanation!!

Another variation that IMO has the best action is a nail weighted zman jerk shadz. I like using a 4/0 or 5/0 worm hook like he shows, instead of the keel weighted hook. However, instead of using a large swivel, I use a smaller ball bearing swivel and then insert a tungsten nail weight to get the bait down. If you get the right line, hook, weight, you can make the bait suspend!

I love how BLat don't give you no BS, no businessman sales pitch. Straight to the facts and experience, thank you for the vid

B Lat in the morning always gets me hyped to get out on the water.

I was sitting in my truck waiting for a heavy rain and t-storm to pass to launch my kayak and I searched for after storm fishing techniques and watched your video while waiting.. rigged up a super fluke on a belly weighted hook and got a respectable bag withing 45 min ty brother I'm definitely subscribing

Thx for taking the time to help.....i have used a split shot weight on tje wide gap hook......turn the weight upside down on the hook and crimp the weight

I love how you point blank tell it how you do it. "Dont ask me why, I just do!" Lol ! G.O.A.T.

Thanks B. Very helpful with all the grass and hydrilla here in FL. I shy away from the standard double treble jerkbait because its tough to keep from getting hung in the veggies. This will work.

Great video! Great information, love the way you break things down and explain them .

B Lat always dropping awesome knowledge. Thanks for posting!!

Great information, Brian...thanks for sharing. I definitely want to work this bait more than I usually do this season. I've never really done that well with them, but I don't fish waters with shad in them. My lake has bluegill and crappie as main forage, but the fluke type baits should still work well.

I have had great luck with the swivel and leader method for years it creates great action. I use it in tidal coastal rivers in the flooded swamps and it works well around wood , lilly pads and most situations. I'll even donkey rig the things...

Love some BLat this morning. Great tips and much appreciated. Thanks

I caught a big 3 and 1/2 pound bass on a green chartreuse fluke I thought wasn't going to work either but the other day it worked and they definitely go for that color

Best thing I've hear today. "If you don't know how to use glue then you don't need to be bass fishing, you need to get your life together"

"It looks just like stevie wonder... it's really life like" is the definitely going to be my mantra of the day next time i go fishing

Good stuff, Brian. 70 years old and you’re teaching me. Love it.

Thanks for the tips,just ordered your kit ,keep it coming 🎣

Loved the Stevie imitation, you got the moves down pat. The sunglasses helped too.

Love it! Same way I've fished for bass here in florida since as a kid in the 90's.

Love it. Brian is very easy to listen to.

You have the best most humble teaching style. Love your videos

Blat single handedly taught me everything i know about fishing

I've been using SLUGGO,S since they came out in the 80,s have caught hundreds of bass, stripers redfish sea trout pike and many more species. Still love em.

Good set up and illustration. Thanks for sharing.

Thumbs up for the sluggo mention! I still use the sluggo and catch tons on it.

Love a pro jus str8 forward!! Only fish spinning reel same I use med power, heavy BB swivel, 10 or 12lb test lightest wire I can get away with,and hold on knock slack in your line!! Thanks B Lat keep doing your thing brother!!

Weightless white or chartreuse with a worm hook just through the mouth/head is works great for pike in shallow waters. Can still cast it far and i just pull reel pull retrieve.

This works I caught my new PB ! All 2lbs of it !

Awesome video B Lat!!👍🔥🎣

Appreciate you Bro 👊 Always very informative!

Thanks B, for the simple yet great tips...bassfishing in Arizona is hard enough...Although, I'm confident that your advice will improve my success.

Brian, if you ever give up fishing, you could be a stand-up comedian!🤣🤣

Always good info thanks Brian

If you don't know how to glue stuff together. Don't even worry about catching a bass, u need to get your life 2gether😂👊🏾!

I remember sluggos! And fishing smokey shad on a hot summer day in nc and wearing them out!❤

I use a leader keeper by lindy. They're made for walleye fisherman, but I've used it for fluke leaders and Carolina leaders for years

Very helpful and it’s improving my fishing

Super glue story about school was hilarious. Your right, you might as well forget Bassin if you need to go to Glue 101. Great video and very well put together.

I appreciate you bro,Just ordered my baits.

Love throwing these!!!

B. Lat great video as always.

I've caught some nice bass on Sluggos. That action is a trigger to smash that bait.

Thanks. Excellent video and it was very helpful.

Very well explained. Really good video.

I have been using 7’ or less Lews rods but now for my weightless paddle tail swim bait and weightless Texas rig I get it

Love the slug go... still got some actually.

Thanks Brian! Got a sh*t ton of soft jerk baits. Been rigging em all wrong the last two years. Lol thanks again! I'll make sure I wont waste em now!

Ay man you got me out here catching big bass for the first time feels great

I still do the Carolina still just caught some schooling spots on it a couple of days ago

Brain latimer is my all time favorite fisherman thx for all the tips that you do

The Stevie Wonder comparison is spot on LOL I’ll forever think of that now

Good info as always!

@6:55-7:21 he nonchalantly ties palomar knots to both sides of the swivel - which is something I didn't think could be done due to the need to loop over the swivel for the second knot, but you can see him just thread the standing end through the loop instead. I tried it and it works. Awesome gem hidden in plain sight.

Not a super huge fan of z man baits but I love fluke fishing. I use a 5/0 gamakatsu ewg super line with no weight. Works like a charm. Brian is the man but Tactical Bassin also has a great fluke fishing tips video.

Man your one liners are always great! Stevie Wonder.......😂

I know I’m late to the party but, bruh you are an amazing angler. Thanks for the tips! Keep those lines tight!

I would love to see you come up to Minnesota and fish Mille Lacs lake for small mouths!!

Lmao the steve wonder got me rolling 😂

I've become a huge fan of zman soft jerbaits on my Carolina rigs because it likes to float so my weight gets to the bottom but the bait falls so slow on its long leader. I know way back in the day we use to think or they use to say the bait is floating behind the weight but with these types of plastics it almost does and I get more bites then using my old stand by the super flukes.

I have pretty good luck with the shimano 70mgl for my light baits and I'm new to the baitcaster world.

Lets goo!!! Fire video!!

Thanks B Lat

I love using soft plastic jerk baits. They are big out here in Germany. We use big ones for big pike.

Loved me some Slugo back in the day

Learned a lot from this video

Dude that is the first time anyone explaining the way a rods length works. 🤯

Brian I like to fish a Senko like that, and I usually fish it on a MH/ Fast so is a MH / Moderate to parabolic? will I be able to get a good hook in them? Thanks!

awesome tips sir.

Brian, what cutting snippers do you use please? I have some braid cutting scissors that suck. They are cheapies cause its all I could find. I want a quality pair of line cutters that will cut all kinds of line. What are you using?

B Lat the 🐐

Guess I'm running out to the store today and try some soft jerkbaits again. Never had any luck but I will try again with these tips!

You got any suggestions ponds that have no shad in it? We have bluegill, but no shad unfortunately.

Great video. Got a new subscriber.

Do you ever use a stinger/treble if getting more short strikes or noncommittal?

How do you feel about quick connects? Without having 10 rods on the boat, I change baits often

Brian what was the brand of that keel weighted hook.

Thanks for the video.

Bro. I can't even with the Stevie wonder dance 😅😅. I'm dead man lol.

do you throw braid in clear water too? does it affect # of bites do you think?

Brian, if you like to get crazy with chartreuse give Bubble Gum Pink a try. I did it for the first time tonight after supper. The Bass & Pike just hammer it.

Hey b lat what size hook and bait is it is that the 5 in

100% agree with this video...That rig is deadly in NY state

What’s the best place to fish near Greenville sc or spartburg sc

Never thought of the swivel thing. I'd always just pinched a small splitshot 12-18" down the line but the swivel makes sense. Never got comfortable throwing it on a heavy action rod though. Prefer MH fast, but potato-potahto I guess lol

What kind and size of weighted hook are you using ?

that exact keel weighted hook?

Brian where can we get the hooks please sir?

So true... Don’t come at me about that swivel. If they don’t see that big ol’ 5/0 offset hook, they ain’t paying attention to that black barrel swivel.

Excelente video hermano saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco México

Just found a pile of sluggos in a bag of old plastic tackle in my shop a couple days ago. They're in perfect shape, I'll probably put em back in rotation. It's funny why we set things away, that really catch fish, for the new latest and greatest plastics...lol. From one Carolina boy to another... Love your content Lat, and your laid back, non elitist attitude. Just curious, why not a double fluke setup? And if you throw the double when and why would you throw either? I like the double with a super line hook on the back one hooked up front, and the other on a regular smaller wire hook, hooked back further so fall rate is slower. That way it resembles a small school and you have a bait up high and lower in the column. Your right, on a medium baitcaster with 12-15# fluoro, you can cast these a country mile!

B-Lat, I thought I WAS THE ONLY ONE that used barrel swivels as weight. Does the super glue mess up the lure when you take the lure off the hook?

Doing a Stevie Wonder. Haha man you had me dying with that one

Love your videos so helpful you explain it good😊

what size weighted hook do you use?

Damn B put an iron on that shirt!! Good vid bro

I use swivels on everything to prevent line kinks&twists- on mono.
