Matt you saying these tips and tricks will "save me money" was like my wife saying "she saved me money when she found a sale!" My wallet begs to differ in both scenarios. 😂 Keep up the great videos
Wow man, awesome tips throughout the entire video. I found myself around schools of bait fish this past weekend and while I did catch some, I was surprised I didn't get more...but then you give me these great nuggets. Now I know exactly how to go target them. Love how you make it so easy to understand and explain the WHY behind things. I think a lot of times people just want a lure to throw instead of considering the WHY that lure works in a specific situation and on a specific body of water. Thank you my friend. I think I am going to dial it in today and see what the results are. I will definitely let you know. Last great tip...I probably am going too fast and need to slow down. God bless you guys for being so generous with your knowledge.
I really like the Underwater Photography taken to demonstrate the different baits. It really helps a fisherman understand just how the lures are manovering through the water. Keep up the great work guys. Thanks Again Matt.
Shootout to you both Matt Allen and Tim Little because of your videos this being my first year ever bass fishing has been great. My brother was teaching me and with the help of ya'll videos, made my fishing experience a real delight! I hope ya'll come to Seattle Washington one time, it would be a honor and delight to sit down and talk bass with two of the greatest. Take care and God bless! 😁👍
Thanks Matt for the great under spin lesson. I fished a 3/0 flashy swimmer with a 3.8 Keitech today in our club tournament. I had never fished an under spin before but I am glad I did today on lake Hartwell. I won the tournament and caught the big fish, a 4.4lb largemouth! Thanks again and keep up the good work. JBowen
Watched 15 times. Took notes. Spent money. Caught a big smally where other guys didn't. Planning to go back and get more. Still learning. This is my first real learning bass year. Thanks a lot.
I really appreciate the information. Also I really appreciate your in depth analysis of why these techniques help catch more bass. All around one of the best channels about educating anglers on RUclips. Also I really appreciate that you are so humble and modest especially since you are so educated about modifications to baits and where the application helps catch more fish. Please keep up the great work.
I love all of y'alls videos and you guys have taught me so much already. I wish yall you do a tackle review over your favorite fish attractant. Which ones do you like and why. I haven't seen anyone do a video over that subject. Do y'all even use them? Thank you so much for everything y'all do for the fishing industry. You guys are my go to when I need some good information!!
MOST IMPRESSIVE, informao fishing youtube channel out there!!!! Hit another one out of the ball park 👍🎣. Again, the underwater footage helps show the action you are describing. Thanks guys for helping me get more in the boat
Man, your videos are absolutely the best. Great information and we'll put together. Just got the swim baits in now just need to get the underspin rigs and going to give this a try in a few weeks when the weather changes
Hey Matt, greetings here from germany. Great work and explanations your doing, all time. Learned so much from your bassfishing tips and transformed them into our perch fishing here in europe. Keep up the great work and have a god time! Best, marc
Been fishing underspins for as long as I can remember. One of my favorites is the originator that I didn't hear you mention and thats the roadrunner either the plain underspin or the bucktail. Both work good but the roadrunner bucktail is probably my favorite I've caught a bunch of different species in both fresh and saltwater on that bait mainly with a simple twister tail for a trailer.
Thank you Matt! You are the man! I’ve never thrown underspins, but picked up some 1/4 eco pro under spins in Shad, and 2.8 fat impact kietch in Shad to try when the time is right. The Shad here are tiny, so finesses is probably the way. Thanks for what you do!
I really really loved the skinny/Little Dipper from reaction innovations. I slept on that swimbait for sooo long. Thanks for these tips fellas, I’ll be in the water in a few mins throwing the underspin 😈
Matt I’ve paired up the Yumbrella jr with 5 okashira heads using both the swing impact and easy shiner. Have been crushing them past couple of weeks in Pennsylvania . Great video!
Another amazing breakdown. I wish I had seen this 2 weeks ago when I bought some Blade Runners. I would have gotten some of the screw locks as well as the standard. I like that the screw lock has a smaller blade. That being said I have been smashing them in a local river on 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz with 3.3 and 4.3 swimbaits. I had no idea underspins were so good.
Hey Matt, hi I'm a new fisherman and I love and have learned alot from how u guys teach, it's my birthday today, the big 50 lol, anyway thanks so much for both of u guys knowledge, if I can pik only one utube fishing program it'll without a drought b u guys,👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hey Matt and Tim, love the videos. Could you guys make an entire video focused on lakes without shad? My home lake has no shad and all of this is very confusing on how applicable it is to my lake. Thank you!!!
Im known around my area for using underspins 99% of the time regardless of location and time lol. Caught everything from big bass, smallies, gar, to catfish and walleye. Deffinitely my favorite all around bait. Fish it however u want and it will get bit!!!
this time of year, if it's a shad forage fishery, the shad balls should just about be everywhere. threadfins and yoy gizzards ought to be about 2 inches long. maybe 3?
Hey Matt, just saw this video for the first time. I started using an underspin last year and now I always have one tied on. What length of leader do you recommend if using braid? Thanks!
Matt, I've been fishing the Coolbaits since they came out. I recently noticed they now make an "XL" version... All you're videos talk about the Coolbaits yet when it comes to the heavier underpins ( 3/8 - 1/2oz ) you seem to opt for different brands... Is there a reason you don't use the Coolbaits XL ? Thanks
Wait I can buy any one rod 1 should I go conquest nrx or the north fork xrays? Mainly trying to figure out these techniques. ned, dropshots, t-riged senko. Thanks for the many great videos!
Unrelated to underspins, but a month ago you recommended the GLX rod as a versatile option to fish a myriad of techniques. I know you and Tim have been fans of the Expride so how do they compare? Looking at investing in one or the other in a 7’2” MH. Your thoughts? Thanks!
Btw our Illinois State Record smallie was caught late Monday night in downtown Chicago. Epic and I mean Epic amounts of effort by a large number of us to assist in keeping her alive to be released this morning back into the lake. She spent all day yesterday and last night getting the spa treatment with assistance from IDNR biologists to make sure she had fully recovered. Google Chicago Suntimes new smallmouth record including her release video. It was incredible to be apart of it
Awesome video as always. Just wondering i have some okashiras and some of them the rubber keeper on them can tear after the fish demolish them so the prop slides down as well. Any tips on how to fix and/or eliminate this? I was thinking super glueing it down.
As always, a great video! You didn’t really mention what spinning rods/line/leader you recommend for the little Cool Baits, Damiki, and Screw Heads. I assume it’s 7’+ ML to M rod, but is there anything specific about the action you’re looking for? Thanks.
I dunno about underspin... I thought the whole point of a spinner was to reflect light to mimic the way fish scales will flash when sunlight hits at the right angle? But if the fish is under the spinner, sunlight won't reflect downward will it? It can only reflect up back towards the light source. Also, since you ask what type of videos we'd like to see, if you've never done this before could you do a video or series on what specifically each type of bait is imitating in terms of natural food sources for fish? Like what is a ned rig or a senko imitating, or a spinner, etc. I feel like understanding what your bait is trying to imitate will help people better fish with that bait.
I have some questions. #1 Does it not matter that some of those baits have two eyes on each side? That doesn't look "normal" or natural. #2 What's the point of having hook size standards if they vary from brand to brand? #3 what's the difference between leader line and using regular line for a leader? Thanks.
Caught my PB on an underspin yesterday. Just an ounce under 4 lbs. Ended up losing it a few casts later though due to my line getting stuck in my reel and snapping mid cast🤷♂️
Is that box full of underspin heads? Good god! Also, I hear that finger banging your baits leaves human scent all over them and that's no good. Any input?
Using a white hair jig .125 oz on a beetle spin ( fishing for crappie ) hit a 4 LB + large mouth ...snap went the tip of my UL rod moral of the story always check your DRAG...LOL
You may be able to see the bait fish? It depends on your waters and the depth they are at though too. 3-4 inch is usually a good starting point, at least here in northern Ohio.
Also, a lot of the time (when you do catch a bass), they will spit up a minnow, shad, crayfish etc. "pay attention" to not only "what" they are eating but the "size" of bait....then match the hatch.
But guys he says there are always small bait fish in the fishery. So to know what there eating you’d have to cut one open right? If they don’t spit one up. To have one spit up their lunch you first have to catch one! And wouldn’t different size bass eat different size bait fish?
I live on a large lake that I know have bass. My neighbor says he has seen large bass. I have tried just about everything. Cranks, spinners, jerks, swim, and I even throw live baby brim. Not a single strike. Frustrated,!
You know your a true fishermen when you feel bad about your shredded bait! Say a little prayer, say goodbye and give it a water burial or or as a sacrifice to the fishing gods 🧜♂️
Matt you saying these tips and tricks will "save me money" was like my wife saying "she saved me money when she found a sale!" My wallet begs to differ in both scenarios. 😂 Keep up the great videos
"getting more for your money" , is probably more accurate , either way the money is spent.
LOL right!

Love the in-depth detail Matt! You could talk about anything and it would be intriguing lmao. Keep it up!
This is my coffee on monday morning!!
What i'd give to be able to go fishing with you for a solid year. The amount of information one would learn would be incredible.
Man I can’t even imagine!
Awesome and great explanation on these....best bass channel by far!!!! 👍👍👍

The more I watch this channel the more concerned I become. It seems a lot of bass are coming UN GLUED! 😄
Absolutely love Underspin fishing! So fun, so deadly.

We call them whistler jigs in the north. Used them foe walleyes for years. Made by Nothland tackle
Can’t tell you how many times I say that watching TB! Lol
Absolutely a Great video Matt..
Glad you did a video on this!
Thank you Matt! You are the man! I’ve never thrown underspins, but picked up some 1/4 eco pro under spins in Shad, and 2.8 fat impact kietch in Shad to try when the time is right. The Shad here are tiny, so finesses is probably the way. Thanks for what you do!
Great tips thanks for what you do
Underspins kill it in San Diego and Mission bay for spotties!! Thanks for the tips
Thank you Matt. Just Outstanding Vlog on the underspin...
Good stuff Matt
You guys are awesome!
I really really loved the skinny/Little Dipper from reaction innovations. I slept on that swimbait for sooo long. Thanks for these tips fellas, I’ll be in the water in a few mins throwing the underspin 😈
Nice video, itHelped! Thanks Matt
Matt I’ve paired up the Yumbrella jr with 5 okashira heads using both the swing impact and easy shiner. Have been crushing them past couple of weeks in Pennsylvania . Great video!
I landed a 3 1/2 pound spot on Sunday using an underspin thank you for the tips Matt 💯👊👊💯
Good stuff.
I love the blade runner underspins, i love how they are so compact but they are 1/2 ounce
Great stuff guys
Great info!
Thanks for the info bro
Unglued!!! Thanks Matt!
Matt what knot do you use for your braid to fluro leader?
Really good video really enjoyed it thanks you can't buy experience 👌 👌👌

Matt’s new nick...The Orator
😁👍Nice info, I used them and they do work great!
Hey Matt and Tim, love the videos. Could you guys make an entire video focused on lakes without shad? My home lake has no shad and all of this is very confusing on how applicable it is to my lake. Thank you!!!
Im known around my area for using underspins 99% of the time regardless of location and time lol. Caught everything from big bass, smallies, gar, to catfish and walleye. Deffinitely my favorite all around bait.
Fish it however u want and it will get bit!!!
Do you know how the vmc compares to the blade runner? They look identical but the vmc hook seems light
Im going to try these for fall lake trout on lake Michigan they should work🐟🎣👍
This might be a stupid question, but how does one figure out the size of Shad in their fishery? Do you minnow trap the lakes you fish beforehand or?
this time of year, if it's a shad forage fishery, the shad balls should just about be everywhere. threadfins and yoy gizzards ought to be about 2 inches long. maybe 3?
That's Awesome!!
When you coming to fish my lake in Virginia....it is a hard place to fish and would love to see how you guys break it down and catch fish
Lake anna?
No smith mountain lake
Can we get a video on the river system Lakes spotted bass please
Hey Matt, just saw this video for the first time. I started using an underspin last year and now I always have one tied on. What length of leader do you recommend if using braid? Thanks!
Caught my pb doing this 3 days ago 8 pound 2 oz with a rage swimmer and belly blade ... I learned this from a previous vid tactical bassem did .
Would you guys recommend underspins for striped bass?
Blade Runner underspins!
Hi Matt what color of swimbait do you use in murky water?
Matt, I've been fishing the Coolbaits since they came out. I recently noticed they now make an "XL" version... All you're videos talk about the Coolbaits yet when it comes to the heavier underpins ( 3/8 - 1/2oz ) you seem to opt for different brands... Is there a reason you don't use the Coolbaits XL ? Thanks

Does anyone know if adding a spilt ring to those gives even more ‘wobble’? Or does it throw the action off?
As always, a great video! You didn’t really mention what spinning rods/line/leader you recommend for the little Cool Baits, Damiki, and Screw Heads. I assume it’s 7’+ ML to M rod, but is there anything specific about the action you’re looking for? Thanks.
Beauty!!!
How do I get ahold of you guys for a guided trip?
I dunno about underspin... I thought the whole point of a spinner was to reflect light to mimic the way fish scales will flash when sunlight hits at the right angle? But if the fish is under the spinner, sunlight won't reflect downward will it? It can only reflect up back towards the light source.

Like what is a ned rig or a senko imitating, or a spinner, etc. I feel like understanding what your bait is trying to imitate will help people better fish with that bait.
If a bait ball looks similar to a cloud on your screen, how can you determine the size of the bait fish within the ball?
I have some questions. #1 Does it not matter that some of those baits have two eyes on each side? That doesn't look "normal" or natural. #2 What's the point of having hook size standards if they vary from brand to brand? #3 what's the difference between leader line and using regular line for a leader? Thanks.
When would you forgo the blade altogether and just fish a swimbait?
I would love to see why you guys wear to stay warm in the colder months, especially gloves
Caught my PB on an underspin yesterday. Just an ounce under 4 lbs. Ended up losing it a few casts later though due to my line getting stuck in my reel and snapping mid cast🤷♂️
Is that box full of underspin heads? Good god! Also, I hear that finger banging your baits leaves human scent all over them and that's no good. Any input?
I prefer a screw lock belly weighted swim bait hook with screw in blade
Good morning
D-Walker looks like a winner. If I could just slow down my retrieve and give it a chance to crawl. 5:1🤷🏻♂️
3:48
your just "another shad" :-)
TB should do this up as a sticker!! ill make the first order
I catch my own shad, would you recommend using artificial bait over live shad?
Live bait fishing is a whole different type of fishing. Artificial requires a bit more skill IMO.
Using a white hair jig .125 oz on a beetle spin ( fishing for crappie ) hit a 4 LB + large mouth ...snap went the tip of my UL rod moral of the story always check your DRAG...LOL
How do we know what size bait fish our bass are eating?
If it's legal where you are put out a baitfish trap and/or throw a castnet and see what you catch. Match that hatch.
You may be able to see the bait fish? It depends on your waters and the depth they are at though too. 3-4 inch is usually a good starting point, at least here in northern Ohio.
Also, a lot of the time (when you do catch a bass), they will spit up a minnow, shad, crayfish etc. "pay attention" to not only "what" they are eating but the "size" of bait....then match the hatch.
Look on the shore in coves.you will see dead ones usually
But guys he says there are always small bait fish in the fishery. So to know what there eating you’d have to cut one open right? If they don’t spit one up. To have one spit up their lunch you first have to catch one! And wouldn’t different size bass eat different size bait fish?
