I really like how you fast forwarded instead of just skipping to the next fish catch torwards the end. Shows how much work goes into each catch that way. Great video
Swim jig when I'm trying to get in amongst the grass or reeds and need to be able to set the hook hard and jack them out of the stuff and chatterbait to concentrate on edges and less congested cover. I personally love a swim jig. So versatile. Thanks for making me feel I'm not a total idiot all the time lol
Matt, thanks bro!!!! Been sub of u guys, for long time. Cause nobody does it better than u 2. I mean you show the bait, colors, weights, fish caught, and 1 1st you tubers but bait links in description. Great video, keep em coming!!!!
Love a good bladed jig and think the Jackhammer is my personal favorite. But there’s something to the subtle action on a swim jig that produces, albeit for me it’s usually later in the season that it shines.
I live in Louisiana. I have a couple of these swim jigs set ups, but I have never caught a fish on them so I don’t use them. Don’t really know how to use them the right way. Is it a finesse style? Do I just throw it out and start cranking?
Hi Matt. Another great video. Need some advice on chatterbait. I bought one online but the hook and head of the chatterbait are connected with a split ring, so the hook is free to "wobble" in the water. Haven't used it yet, do you have any experience on this or do you always get chatterbaits whose hook is connected to the head?
I really enjoy your content, been watching more of your videos. Great stuff! I’m thinking of starting a channel. What cameras and mics are you using? You have great video and audio.
im working on a new concept for a chatterbait. kind of want to send one to you or tell you how its made to test it out. my first prototype has just the slightest body shake, vibrates at insanely slow speeds, and almost seemed to cause itself to "deflect" and dart out of cadence and come back in on a steady retrieve. im thinking clear water with that one maybe.
I know you’re fishing in shallow, but for bank fisherman would you recommend going to a lighter weight on the jigs so they aren’t hitting the bottom as much?
Just killed it on the big blade this past month super slow with a delight 5.5 . Nothing bigger than 5.1/2ish -6 but it was fun catching 80 bass or maybe 100 lost count.
I'm pretty new to the fishing world, so I apologize if this is an over asked question. When setting up your jigs or chatter baits or whatever it may be, do you tie line directly to your jigs/hooks or are you using swivels? I assume you’re tying directly to the jigs. Also.. what knot if you do? And another question (please don’t answer all if you don’t want too), when you’re adding a FC leader to your braid, what sort of knot are you tying. I’m just getting setup to start trying BFS in western Canada, and all we got here are super shy trout, so I’m going to need a pretty small leader. I planned to try Varivas braid for the main line on the spool, and then using a FC 4-8lbs leader depending on conditions. And I really have no idea how I shouldn’t connect them or what’s a strong knot for this.. everything online is a controversial keyboard warrior war over everything fishing related.
Tie jigs straight to the jig eye, with palomar knot. Chatterbaits have a snap that comes on them you can tie too, same palomar knot. I use FG knot for baraid to fc leader
@@michaelrobinson959 your welcome, take your time with the FG knot and lots of practice. I’m hoping to get some knot tying videos up on our channel this coming winter. It’s a difficult knot but you’ll get it. Good luck and I hope you catch lots of trout!
Unfortunately for me I can not catch a bass on a chatterbait. Weirdest thing, but spinnerbaits and swim jigs are my go to baits. I do still try the chatter in case my luck turns.
This was me for probably 2-3 years. I just couldn’t get bit on the chatterbait but killed with a spinnerbait. I kept at it and one day caught 27 on it. I got more comfortable using it in the right scenarios and now it’s a go-to lure for mw
@@mattseifert Thanks I will keep at it. Will also watch fish position when I toss it. Chatters seem to run higher than spins, so maybe more stop and go or use it when the fish are roaming flats. If I can figure out jerkbaits, I should be able to crack this.
Another banger Matt. Hope you and the TB family are doing awesome. I'll shoot you a PM soon. Big question....what knot do you use to tie braid to leader? Maybe you can do a new vid on it! Super bummed i lost my TB hat and Tacklewarehouse doesnt have any. Any word when they are getting more?
Curious, anyone bought the new monster jig by Missile baits i think? IKES Monster jig i think it's called...it's freakin' huge & looks awesome...i bought the rainbow trout color with a 6" paddle tail on the back in pro blue/red....can't wait to swim it around
Thanks for the shallow water content!!!! ... this really applies to guys like me with no electronics, and bank anglers.
👍
Truth!
Yup. I feel there's more bank/shore anglers than there are boaters
We're happy to do it!
Good morning Matt! I always feel like “I have no idea “ when I start fishing but thanks to you and Tim I always have a plan… 👍🏻
Awesome! We're so glad to hear it's making a difference!
I really like how you fast forwarded instead of just skipping to the next fish catch torwards the end. Shows how much work goes into each catch that way. Great video
Thanks! It was a grinder... but it was also a lot of fun!
Love the videos where we see you guys fishing at length, putting those techniques into action. It's awesome. Please bring more. Thank you so much!
We love doing them! It's typically every 3rd video, but can be every 4th if we have a topic that needs to be covered quickly.

Ha! We see eye to eye on this one 👍🏼
That new front deck looks so comfy!!
It's soooo comfy!
The lake I fish is only 10' to 18' at the deepest and the rest of it is like this lake your fishing these are great tips thanks Matt 👍🏻
Awesome! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Matt, thanks bro!!!! Been sub of u guys, for long time. Cause nobody does it better than u 2. I mean you show the bait, colors, weights, fish caught, and 1 1st you tubers but bait links in description. Great video, keep em coming!!!!
Thanks Danny! We didn't think anyone knew we started the linking trend... thanks for noticing!
Thanks Matt for another fun day. Chatterbait! Chatterbait!
Thanks for coming along!
I love these onn the water videos.
Love a good bladed jig and think the Jackhammer is my personal favorite. But there’s something to the subtle action on a swim jig that produces, albeit for me it’s usually later in the season that it shines.
Love jackhammers and swimjigs!
Always enjoy the video's but could have watched this one all day
Thanks!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This definitely appears to be the Kissimmee chain, fished it many times, and love the bites and fish action.
Matt it is good to see frog time. Bassmd
The unknowns, in bass fishing's what makes the sport enjoyable & addictive...u just never know
Another awesome video as usual. Is that Apopka?
The time lapse is awesome
100 percent a Florida fishery. Looks very similar to the Kissimmee chain that I live on.
Looking like Panasoffkee.

I need that thin hoodie and those fishing gloves! Where do I get them?

I feel the evo thumps harder than the jackhammer, and it is putting in work!!!
It's a fish catcher, for sure!!
Thanks!

Hey Matt do you have any thoughts on the st. croix victory series???

Nice boat brother!!
Thank you!
I know you’re fishing in shallow, but for bank fisherman would you recommend going to a lighter weight on the jigs so they aren’t hitting the bottom as much?
Honestly, no. I'd stick with the weight so you can get maximum distance.
@@tacticalbassin fair enough. Thanks for the info.
hey man left a couple of comments with questions did hear back
You in Florida right now? I miss those big largemouth, but I love Kentucky smallmouth🤷
Toho? Looked like the canal entrance.

Super bummed i lost my TB hat and Tacklewarehouse doesnt have any. Any word when they are getting more?
Hey man! Blood knot with 9 loops on each side 👍🏼 We're working on new apparel as we speak.
Are you in your new boat?
Yes 👍🏼
@@tacticalbassin sweet rig you got for sure. Thanks for all you do for us.
Is that a Slobberknocker 😂

I’ll never understand how u cast into that stuff and not get stuck. For the life of me I can’t do it
I'm sure he loses as many lures as the rest of us. It doesn't make good video content seeing that part of it
👍👍👍
Dirty water has always been better fishing for me. Bass will
Bite more because they can’t see the lure?
First!?
Yes! 🙌
how would jerkbait work in shallow water?
Follow the birds, that’s the old school fish finder!
💪🏼
