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.

How To Catch Your PB Bass Right Now!

Want to catch bigger bass? This is prime time to do it! Catching a new PB is achievable and we want to help you do it! There are a handful of proven baits that produce consistent success once you understand HOW and WHEN to fish them. Come along as we dive into the mindset behind targeting trophy bass in the Fall and Winter.

Trophy bass are caught consistently using a two-part method. You’ll need to dial in two different patterns to work at different times. You’ll want a bait that imitates the bass’ favorite forage during “prime time” to fool them into biting, but you’ll also need to identify a bait that can trigger a feed response during lower percentage times of day.

Understanding which baits to throw at what time of day makes all the difference. In previous videos we’ve discussed exactly where these big bass are located this time of year but the missing piece of the puzzle until today was understanding WHEN to target those fish.

Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits to “fool” the bass along with our favorite baits to trigger a “feed response”. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you’ll see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fishing 3 States In 3 Days! Awesome Fall Bass Fishing Road Trip!

Come along as we explore new lakes in new states! We’re throwing everything from crankbaits and swimbaits, to jigs and dropshot, to catch a pile of fish! We stick great big Smallmouth, beautiful Spotted Bass, and a few Largemouth too! Watch as we dissect 3 very different fisheries in 3 days and build patterns that produce consistent bites each day.

Whether you’re driving across state lines or fishing right in your back yard, you can use this information to break down the lakes and ponds around you. Bass are feeding heavily before Winter and you can catch some really nice fish if you target them strategically instead of just going down the bank. Watch as we adapt to different conditions on different lakes, switch between lure styles at different times of day, and always keep an eye peeled for busting fish on the surface in the Fall!

Tricks To Catch More Topwater And Crankbait Fish This Summer!

Summer bass are aggressive if you know WHERE to look! Even more important is knowing WHEN to look! If you want to catch topwater and crankbait fish in the heat of Summer, the most likely bite is the low light pattern. Get up early and stay out late to catch bass as they feed aggressively in the low light periods of the day.

Yes, some of the biggest bass are caught under a high sun, even in Summer. But that fact only matters if you’re willing and able to withstand the heat. A lot of anglers aren’t willing to subject themselves to the harsh Summer temperatures so for you, we’ve got some recommendations. If you focus early and late in the day you can experience an amazing reaction bite! Topwater, crankbaits, and swimbaits can all be great producers before the sun hits the water.

When you get on the pattern remember that it is a PATTERN, it can be repeated. Don’t get caught up with fishing a single spot. If you can mimic the area you’re in somewhere else, don’t be afraid to cover water and try multiple locations. This is especially important when your shade is fading. You can stay on the pattern and continue to catch fish, even as the sun rises in the morning sky, by pursuing those final shade pockets.

Tim’s “Go To” baits are broken down below. These are the baits he trusts when he goes out during low light conditions in search of a BIG bite. The links to the baits go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Post Spawn Bass Fishing Gear Review!

In today’s gear review we’re looking at a new worm, crankbait, swimbait, fishing line, and so much more! Whether you’re looking to catch a big fish, want to try something new, or maybe you need to do a better job of protecting your gear, there is something here for everyone. As we enter the post-spawn period between Spring and Summer bass become aggressive all over the country, its time to go fishing!

We’ve had a long Spring full of quarantines and closed lakes to let our tackle addictions run wild. Today’s video is the best of the best from all the tackle and equipment we’ve been trying lately. We tried to make selections that would benefit the largemouth angler, smallmouth angler, boat owner, traveler, and just about everyone in between.

Spring Swimbait Bite Is On! Big Bass Attacking Glide Baits!

We found the bass! No light rods today, its all swimbaits and heavy tackle! We knew going in that we’d probably catch a bunch of fish on the big bait so instead of throwing our favorite glide bait (S-Waver 200) we decided to mix it up and find out what else they would eat. Let’s see if these bass will eat a Baitsanity Explorer, Storm Arashi Glide, or G Ratt Sneaky Pete. (Spoiler Alert: THEY DO!) Spring swimbait fishing with glide baits can be incredible, let us show you how to be successful as we catch some nice Clearlake bass.

Glide Baits have a remarkable ability to trigger a feed response in bass. Learning how to use them to your advantage can change your Spring fishing. These baits naturally draw larger than average bass due to their size (drawing power) but if you don’t know what to do when those fish appear, it can be incredibly frustrating! Pay close attention to the guy’s hands as they twitch and work the baits to trigger a feed response and convert these bass from casual followers to aggressive biters.

We’re all struggling to adapt during these difficult times. The virus is causing lake closures, fishing bans, and a whole range of difficult circumstances for anglers. If you’re still able to get out on the water and want to maximize your limited time with a shot at a giant bass, the glide bait could be your best bet for success.

Below is a breakdown of the baits, equipment, and component upgrades the guys used to find success today. Stock hardware on most of these baits is severely lacking, you absolutely want to upgrade both the hooks and split rings to avoid bend outs when you hook the fish of a lifetime.
