5 Reasons Seth Feider Chooses Balsa Squarebills for Fall Wood
HTML-код

- The fall bass fishing window is prime time to head into the shallows with a squarebill crankbait in hand. Seth Feider keeps his choices simple always reaching for balsa crankbaits in the fall. In his opinion, premium balsa baits provide the best balance between buoyancy and action while triggering bass that often aren't tempted with bottom contact baits like jigs and Texas rigs. Here are Feider's top 5 reasons for fishing balsa squarebills over plastic varieties, plus some additional nuggets on bait selection and approaching cover with strategic casts.
FISHING TACKLE USED:
● Rapala DT 3 Fat, color - Ike's Smash: wired2.fish/Rap...
● Daiwa Tatula Glass Casting Rod, 7' M: wired2.fish/Tat...
● Daiwa Elite Casting Reel, 6.3:1: wired2.fish/Da...
● Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon, 12 or 14lb: wired2.fish/Ad...
1. Cover more water than a jig. A squarebill is a much more efficient tool for covering water than a vertical presentation when you're staring down a bank of cover. A speedy approach helps you contact the most aggressive bass as quickly as possible.
2. Suspends off the bottom. Contrary to popular opinion, bass often suspend in and around woody cover instead of hunkering down toward the bottom. Squarebill cranking puts the bait in their face instead of below them.
3. Triggers bass that bottom contact baits often don't. They're called four-wheel drive baits for a reason. Squarebills are purpose-built for colliding with cover and structure, which usually elicits an aggressive feeding response/instinct.
4. More buoyant than plastic. Buoyancy equates to less snagging, so you're less apt to ruin a spot on a poorly placed first cast or inopportune collision with a branch.
5. Quieter than conventional squarebills (with rattles). Many balsa baits rely on their subtle shimmy over loud rattles. Feider prefers this quieter approach when you're apt to make repetitive casts to key cover, which is often the case when casting to laydowns.

Love when other fishermen give people advice and show you what to use and when 🎣👍🏻👌🏻💯💯
Absolute proper bass’n man
🦙😉
Thanks Seth for your Tips.
In fishing stained water in the Fall, I prefer the silent crank baits.
Most Bass get Smart to baits with Rattles in them. Fish can still detect a lure running through the water.
Absolutely Rodney. We’ve had good success with the Ned rig in dirty water with less than a foot visibility which is clear proof that fish have a powerful ability to detect food through water displacement.
Great information about quite crankbaits versus loud crankbaits. First time I heard a pro address that.
Right on, we felt the same -- some compelling points for sure. Thanks for tuning in Brett.
Feider man back at it again with some great tips! Square bill cranking is my go to for spring and fall.
Love having the dude on the channel. Just spews content. Got us excited to get out with the shallow cranks.
@@Wired2Fish any time he’s in a video I’m always watching to see what I can learn off of him to make my life easier.
Always appreciated Kyle.
I love the DT Fat. When I first started fishing I was in the military stationed in NY. I caught an 8.8 on one on the spring. At the time I didn't know how big that really is but it's my go to square bill.
A fish like that is a real confidence builder. Thanks for sharing your experience with the bait Paul.
Seth Feider is awesome to listen to. 👍👍
We get mesmerized too! He's a wealth of knowledge.
@@Wired2Fish he really is.
Very informative. You explained in detail use of a crank bait. Thanks for sharing 🐟😊
Glad you found it useful Connie. Seth has a knack for coughing tons of good content. He's a regular contributor to this channel so please keep checking back. We appreciate your viewership.
I love that wood handle rod!! You don’t see em much anymore, but I buy almost every one I can find!!
We agree Justin. Cork was and will always be a very comfortable and performance rod handle material. New materials keep popping up, and they're worth our time to try out, but you can't deny the tried and true.
@@Wired2Fish Why in the world have almost all the manufacturers gotten away from cork for the most part?! I’ve been buying from a closeout dealer lately just for things like that!! I loved the KVD Quantum’s, got some of them too!! They discontinue all the stuff I love!!
@@Wired2Fish No follow up?!
Heck yeah! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great video as usual. Love a square bill. Thanks for all the great info
Right on Mike, thanks for tuning in.
Crazy how efficient you can be making short cast with a shallow plug. Not having to let it fall, sit then shale and reel in. Was more presentations In an hour much less a day!
Absolutely, he makes good points about bass often being suspended in the wood, and a crankbait the best tool for reaching them whereas you're often fishing below the bass with a jig or Texas rig.
Dangling!!!! 🔥
Damn Seth letting the cat out of the bag!One of my go2baits.🎣😂
SORRY!
I love the new Rapala commercial.
Yuns over there at W2F did it again..!st,Seth is 1 of my favorite anglers.I look to him to emulate some of his technique cuz we are the same size and have a similar approach mentally when it comes to these bass.@ndly,I'm a HUGE crankin nerd;& i feel like a J@ck@$$ not being hip to the DT Fat(so I just ordered 5 of em)-theyll be here in 3 days.Can't wait!!!#ReactionBite#BurnBangBurn
Yeah looks like it catches a lot of fish.
I learn SO MUCH from your videos. I wish you had your own channel.
Hello, it is 2024, Does Rapala still produce this bait? Thanks.
Could y’all do video on fish leaving your spot for good? So I’ll back track a little. Late late fall right before ice on I saw a pipe that almost goes across the entire lake.(end in the deepest water possible) and we saw fish on it but couldn’t catch them. Fast forward to summer of last year. Slayed em I watched them summer to fall transition. I come back this to the spot and livescope showed that they weren’t even there. I fished it for 3 hrs and no bites. What happened. And I must note that I fished the hell of surrounding wood rocks deep and shallow. I have no idea
Boat flipping with a balsa!! Yeeeah
The 🦙 does what the 🦙 wants!
Tips from SF >>>>
Question why set the hook so hard on a bait with treble hooks? If your drag slipped your hammering them lol
1:59 What was the flat-sided craw colored crankbait next to the DT Fat? Is that Ott's Garage bait?
Good eye John. And yes sir, we're excited about his bait: wired2.fish/RapalaOG6-Slim
Does anyone know if they discontinued the dt flat? It was one of my absolute favorite baits for this time of year. But I have 2 or 3 and wanted to get some new colors and I cant find them anymore.
Hi Paul, yep, the DT Flat has been discontinued but also reinvented with their new flat-sided crankbait. It's a killer: wired2.fish/RapalaOG6-Slim (expected in stock soon).
@@Wired2Fish hey, thanks! I'll definitely look into them
After he missed that fish on the log, he threw out to the middle of the lake for a cast and then threw back to the log... any idea why?
Give the fish time to set back up. With squarebills you often cast to the same structure multiple times. When they are set up in wood like that you gotta drag it through just the perfect spot. I definitely do more repeated casts with a squarebill more so than other techniques. That’s my 2cents🤷♂️
Maybe he needed to get the line on his reel straightened out.
Both Maxx and Kevin made good points. He was clearing his reel out with a little snarl while giving the bass a second to get repositioned.
Haha killed it today on the Tn River with square Bill and buzzbait. 24 bass biggest was 5.11
Nice💰! The kind of fall day we all hope for.
What rod was he using??
Hi, full rod, reel and line specs in the video description. Thanks for watching!
What state is this in? Lake or river?
This was filmed in Minnesota on a natural lake.
