These tricks will save you time and money the next time you throw a swimbait! We're covering when to throw an underspin, when a hollow belly is better than a paddle tail, and how to quit wasting so many keitechs! If you want to catch a swimbait fish this Spring, this is the video for you.
We cover basic rigging with weedless swimbait heads like the Owner Beast as well as traditional rigging with the Matt Allen swimbait head. Next we discuss the best underspins for a variety of circumstances and last we take it a step further and cover how to make your own underspins on the fly.

@Tbowie13 3 года назад

Been upgrading the springs for awhile now, and I keep the old springs to put into the front of dropshot baits that I'm gonna nosehook. The spring gives the Dropshot bait more longevity, as nosehooked baits can get shredded pretty quick on a good bite with the smallmouth. Anyhow, hope this helps someone, great video as always.

@tdbass2968 5 лет назад

I struggled also in the past finding a good weedless hook for the mid/larger (~5") paddle tail swimbaits until I tried the VMC drop dead weighted hooks. The 4/0 (3/16 and 1/4oz) has been a great hook and although the twist lock springs aren't great they do work. Sometimes I replace those and go on Amazon and get some Owner equivalent ones for much cheaper (Hyamass brand was a perfect high quality replacement). The VMC hooks are normally pretty sharp new but I do sharpen them after a few fish but the hook up ratio with them has been great. When the twist locks rip out I super glue the heads of the bait closed and they last for several more fish. The twist lock springs fight you sometimes going back in after gluing but force the pin through then just take your time twisting it in straight but it works. Besides Keitech I find the BPS speed shad to be great paddle tail baits and the BPS ones are a couple of bucks cheaper.

Hey guys , I fish a lot of shallow, weedy areas so I throw a bunch of weightless flukes texas rigged .. when I switch to a paddle tail ( like a kietech or a googan saucy swimmer) and throw it weightless and texas rigged 9 out 10 times it spins around in circles .. my rigging looks perfectly straight I have no idea what I’m doing wrong .. is it because it’s weightless?

I got some of the 3/0 flashy swimmers I just used them with my spinning rod using the 4.3 inch keitech, and I was getting bit but the hook wasn’t exposing. Do I need to bump up to a bait caster or do I need a smaller bait because I don’t have a good enough gap between the bait and the hook

Excellent video, this and all your videos are so well explained. I have learned so much from you and Tim. Thank you. I.agree with some of the other comments here, you and Tim should have more followers and maybe your own tv show. I’m not a newbie, Al Linder and Roland Martin were my fishing hero’s when I was first trying to learn how to fish. Those guys are still great but, your videos are so much more detailed and descriptive, taking time to show minor details that can make all the deference. Many of the pros don’t want us to know these little tips and tricks, but you guys are making us all better fishermen. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

@robertstrong918 4 года назад

I don't know what im doing wrong I've been fishing for over 50 years and get skunked every time. No nibble no hits nothing its like all fish are now extinct. I use live bait, lures, soft plastics and jigs all nice gear poles and reels and get nothing. I have better luck going to the store to buy fish that's old and stinky.

I know you guys like the Keitechs, but I gave up on them pretty quickly. Yeah, they caught fish, but they did hold up at all. I found that I could throw Zoom Swimmin Flukes, my catch rate was just as good, and they held up much better. Also, I actually figured out a rig to make my own center pin springs. Gotta make one in the larger size, though.

@pg4290 3 года назад

I love your videos. You share so much, I thought I would share this and see what you think. To mend my plastic baits, I use a small pick, similar to an ice pick. Heat it with a lighter, insert in the bait to melt it and squeeze for a few seconds til it is cured. You can get the picks at Harbor freight or Home Depot. www.harborfreight.com/mini-pick-and-hook-set-63697.html?_br_psugg_q=pick+set

Hey Matt, not really related, but you did a video on how to throw big swimbaits years ago. That video was geared towards preserving your body. I'd like to see an updated video covering not just the casting motion, but also optimizing accuracy and distance. PS, I bought my first swimbait rod today because of TacticalBassin. It'll probably see more use muskie fishing than anything (actually bought it at a muskie convention), but it's definitely gonna do a lot of swimbait chucking too.

@garrett_chasinthedreamtv4480 5 лет назад

Hey Matt, I've got one thing to add on to that Large CPS trick that will make the bait last even longer. I've switched all my CPS to the large size and then shove a tooth pick in through the bait and through the gaps in the middle of the spring horizontally. It just gives that much more for the bait to catch on before the nose rips out. I fish a lot of 5.8 to 7.8 keitechs as well as some $15+ custom soft body swimbaits and it saves me A TON. I regularly catch 30+ fish on the before it rips out and a lot of tines just some mend-it will repair the nose enough to use the same trick and get you another 15+ fish on the bait.
