Buyer's Guide: Swimbaits and Glide Baits!

Today’s Buyer’s Guide is all about big swimbaits! There are so many options between Glide Baits, Multi-Joints, Boot Tails, Wedge Tails, Wakes, Crankdowns, and so many more… How do you know where to start?! Swimbaits aren’t cheap so making the right choices the first time is very important. Come along as we take a look at some of our favorites!

We break our swimbaits into 3 primary categories: Trout/Kokanee, Baitfish, and Bluegill Imitators. Trout baits are typically open water baits while baitfish and bluegill imitators are cover oriented, shallow water baits. Knowing how to use each style of bait effectively is an entirely different video. Luckily, we shot an in-depth video on this subject last month and have linked it below.

In this video we’ve broken 9 baits down into these 3 categories and added 2 bonus baits. You’ll find all of the baits we discussed linked below. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We’ve also included our favorite colors with each bait, hook recommendations for rigging where applicable, as well as links to some of our favorite swimbait rods and reels.

Sonar Basics: How To Identify Fish (Bass, Panfish, and Baitfish)

Ever wondered if you’re really seeing fish? Which lines and marks are bass? Can you tell the difference between crappie, bluegill, white bass, etc? Which marks are fish and which ones are just stumps or rocks? Come along on the water in real time as we idle through creek channels and flats and identify the different fish we come across with our electronics.

Modern electronics give anglers an incredible advantage over the fish. Even with the most basic units you can now quickly identify active fish, even on a lake you’re unfamiliar with. Of course nicer electronics offer increased sensitivity and functionality but none of that matters until you understand what you’re seeing on the screen. Tim has spent countless hours behind the wheel analyzing fish positioning on structure and today he’s giving you the quick basics you’ll need to go out on the water and confidently locate fish on your own.

Below you’ll find links to the Humminbird Solix 15 Tim was using in the video, along with a variety of other great units. We’ve included some of the best units from different brands but also some amazing “budget” options that will get you on the water, identifying fish with modern technology, without breaking the bank.

Catch suspended crappie using under-spin jigs (30 day challenge ep.5)

In this episode of the 30 day challenge, I fish for suspended crappie in 20-24ft of water. The aggressive crappie were chasing large schools of baitfish across open water transitions. Garmin Livescope helped single out the larger fish and helped place the Pete’s Tackle Shop 2″ slab grabbers in front of the crappie’s mouth.

How To Fish A Tube: Everything You Need To Know! **GIANT Smallmouth Caught!**

A Tube will catch everything that swims! When you know how to use the different tube styles and sizes, heads, hooks, and colors, the tube becomes incredibly adaptable! They work all year long no matter how shallow or deep you’re fishing. Today Matt and CC put them to work on a pile of 4-6 lb Smallmouth in crystal clear water and take the time to teach you every detail of the technique along the way.

Despite its effectiveness the tube is often overlooked by anglers. Its not as popular as the dropshot or ned rig but if forget to throw it, you’re missing an incredible opportunity! When you learn to mix it in with the other baits it becomes even more effective. Today Matt and CC implemented stubby tubes, heavy wire hooks, and when the bite slowed, mixed in a ned rig to make sure they weren’t leaving any fish behind.

Below is a breakdown of the baits and equipment used and discussed in today’s video. The links go directly to tackle warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We’ve included the different head styles, tube styles, etc… that will help you become a well rounded tube fisherman.

Today’s Exact Baits…
Matt’s Tube- Big Bite Baits Salt Tube 3.5″ (Green Pump Blk Org): https://bit.ly/2D7j6RX
CC’s Tube- Big Bite Baits Tour Tube 3.5″ (Green Pump Blue): http://bit.ly/32e23VR
Ned Worm- Missile Baits Ned Bomb (Green Pumpkin Flash): http://bit.ly/2XCOGwd

Today’s Exact Heads…
Tube: Blade Runner Inhaler 3/16 with 2/0 Hook: https://bit.ly/2NX7nYr
Ned: Swagger Tungsten Flanders Head 1/6 oz: http://bit.ly/2KcIB6M

Favorite Tubes For Different Situations…
Tournament Tube (Skinny)- Dry Creek Tournament 3.5: http://bit.ly/2cJwI6r
Colors: Crazy Eddie, Old Ugly, Green Pumpkin
Standard Tube- Big Bite Baits Tour Tube 3.5″: http://bit.ly/32e23VR
Colors: Green Pump Blue, Tilapia, Green Pump Purp Copper
Fat Tube (Double Dip)- Dry Creek Full Body Double Dip: https://bit.ly/38BgQ15
Colors: Bama Craw, Buzzard Snot, Columbia Craw
Finesse Tube (2.5″): Big Bite Baits 2.5″: https://bit.ly/3ivlceF
Colors: Green Pumpkin Pepper, Light Melon Perch

Favorite Heads…
-Blade Runner Inhaler: https://bit.ly/2NX7nYr
The BEST head we’ve found for a stout (but small) hook! The 1/0 is perfect for 2.5″ tubes, the 2/0 is perfect for all standard tubes/double dip tubes, and a 3/0 is a great pairing for full size 4″ tubes. Again this is a small hook but heavy wire. You can still set it with standard spinning tackle but there is no fear of ever bending it out on a fish. If you know you’re around big fish, this is the head.

-Bite Me Flat Eye Tube Head: http://bit.ly/2diyVXK
This has been my favorite tube head for years. Its narrow enough to fit in any tube and has an excellent medium wire hook.

-Swagger Tungsten Tube Head: https://bit.ly/31Kmcpq
This head is small for its size due to tungsten’s density so its easier to fit it into various tubes than its lead counterparts. Its an EWG-style hook, not a round bend. Some anglers prefer one style over another, we’ve been experimenting with EWG this past year.

-Bite Me Tackle Goby Head: http://bit.ly/2CV3o7S
This is the head for fishing deep or cracking a tube! Heavy weights with an excellent medium wire hook.
