Best fishing channel on youtube, you guys are always reminding me to keep it simple. We as fishermen tend to over complicate things and its the basics that win. Wish you would come to Alabama and fish wilson lake with me were you can catch big smallmouth and largemouth off the same spot, the only place i have ever fished were you can do this. Thanks for the knowledge and keep up the awesome vids!
Very informative. I always assumed the purpose of a trailer was to give it more action and lifelike movement. I never considered changing trailers based on water temperature. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
KVD perfect plastics chunks are perfect!! They have more action than the zoom chunks. In clear water, they look really good and the action is unique. Good trailers.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - another reason to love the channel, I am going to stay a "Simple Man" and continue exploring pork exclusively until immediately before pre-spawn then your twin-tail grub keeping it "simple", learn one trailer and the nuances until I get it....and I bet the fish will teach me something along the way. Happy New Year.
love the video. its easy to get into habits with trailers. I think swimin chunks have a place too...not quite grub. something about those tiny little swimming legs sure gets a nice bite in the spring around here
Hey guys, I really enjoy binge watching your videos. Yall have taught be a lot and helped me hone in on my skills. I was wondering if yall would do a in depth real cleaning and lube video. Would really enjoy seeing how yall approach this particular topic and the equip you use. Thanks for every yall do and keep the videos coming.
Jig in Super Matt Brown with a HuddleBug HP in Brown/Purple. The lighter colored, purple tint, underbelly adds a subtle flash of realism on the fall & when hopping into defensive posture. Delta Craw also pairs up well. Maybe Ken could make you an exclusive brn/purp in a slightly larger bug?
love your show dude keep up the good work.....my question is how should you change or when to change baits during the year an the day to keep catching fish seems I have lot of dead time
You should check out the Warrior Baits Warrior Craw, they sell it at Tackle Warehouse. The best swim jig trailer for grass I have ever used, you can flip it, drag it, and swim it. I have used the ones you talked about also, but Warrior Craw is my favorite. You can see me using it if you check out my video. Keep up the good work, nice videos.
IMHO, you don't always have to trim the skirt or weed gaurd. Just depends on the jig you buy and the profile you want. Ex, if I want a small profile jig like in spring fishing super shallow wood, I go to the strike king bitsy flip whereas in the fall and early winter when I want a big profile, I go with a hack attack. Just depends and gotta find your personal preference and what works best depending on the season.
A long time ago in a place far, far away (Del Valle Res. in CA in the 1980's) my buddy and I worked a spot we christened (that day) "Party Bush". At that spot, at that time it was a motor oil plastic worm or nothing!!!! My buddy had pulled 5 or 6 nice bass out of that one bush with motor oil worms while my black then blue then purple, etc were ignored. I had a single 6" motor oil Jelly Worm with me. Put it on and had the rod about pulled out of my hand on the initial sink of the first cast with that worm but brought back a bare hook. Steve continued to catch bass while I threw every other color bait I had....without so much as a looksee from the bass. When the bite died (he lost his last motor oil worm) he had landed 9 or 10 bass and had numerous bites that were missed. I had the one bite but it was vicious. So I know color can make a huge difference.....at times. There was nothing special about the water color or weather conditions that day that I KNOW OF (obviously there was something going on that made a difference to the fish). That was over 30 years ago and is burned into my memory, but that is because it was such an obvious example, but in my experience it was very much an exception as, within reason I don't think the particular hue you throw is as important as the rest of the presentation. There have been other, less obvious examples over the years where color made a real difference but by and large I think the best "color" is "appropriate confidence" in whatever you choose to throw...(keep it realistic but don't be afraid to change it). Baitfish and crawdads don't suddenly change color just because the clouds suddenly blocked the sun etc.
The reason I asked is for some reason when I go down the side of the banks I've had them snap completely off the line and cannot figure out what happened
Hey guys your video are very informative & I watched quite a few, however when you show things you need to go to a close up! The camera is way too far away to see what you guys are talking about.

+Scott Steele Hopefully tomorrow, definitely this week.
when you use the "beaver" style bait are you taking the 4 "ribbed" section off of a standard (4") size one or the jr ones (3")?
love your show dude keep up the good work.....my question is how should you change or when to change baits during the year an the day to keep catching fish seems I have lot of dead time
as always informative video, slight changes difference between 1 fish and 5!!
Thanks for watching Chris!
Damn right killer ending song ...vanzant was a bass man also...

Watching on 3/11/17 looking for tips on jig fishing. I left a like
Realistic Fishing hey man I watch your channel. Now you catch fish on jigs in your videos! Lol
There's also the natural craws with realistic pinchers. Not alot of action and good for cold water

I have used the ones you talked about also, but Warrior Craw is my favorite. You can see me using it if you check out my video. Keep up the good work, nice videos.
I wanna go again!
+Anglers Pursuit Let's go bud!
are trailers for jigs a must?
+falconrod1 Yes, you need a trailer in virtually all circumstances to complete the profile.
awesome vid!
Do you trim skirts in the winter or leave them long?
IMHO, you don't always have to trim the skirt or weed gaurd. Just depends on the jig you buy and the profile you want. Ex, if I want a small profile jig like in spring fishing super shallow wood, I go to the strike king bitsy flip whereas in the fall and early winter when I want a big profile, I go with a hack attack. Just depends and gotta find your personal preference and what works best depending on the season.
+Brandon Walker I experiment with both. Sometimes those long skirts work extremely well, other days its better to have a thinned or shortened skirt.
+tacticalbassin thanks. I tend to leave them long in the winter. Idk if it helps or not.
Where can I get me one of those hoodies!
+BeyondTheBounds Shoot me an email (tacticalbassin@gmail.com) and we'll get you dialed.

I though in dirty water you should use neon colors
question 1/2 buzzbait what action rod would u use
7'+ medium heavy
The reason I asked is for some reason when I go down the side of the banks I've had them snap completely off the line and cannot figure out what happened
