Slow walking a one-knocker spook is another great topwater to throw in May. The drawing power of the one knock from the tungsten along with the little bit of splash in the water, works great for heavily feeding fish and covering lots water. What I mean by slow walking is letting the spook finish its glide, like you would slow walking a frog. Don't let it sit still for longer than half of a second, keeping the spook in motion makes it look more natural. Hope whoever happens to read this finds this tip helpful!
J dub just pulled a 8 younder out some shallow Grass 5-18 with your buzz bait and then pulled a 5lb pounder out some shallow grass 5-24 on chatter bait. Love your videos and learn so much
Been throwing the freeloader a lot! Love it. Was able to take my family smallmouth fishing and we threw the bait without FFS and everyone caught something. Won my first tournament this year with it. Always tied on my friend!
Just wanted to let you know. I've been bass fishing for 40 years. Just doing the shoreline fishing and such, but I watch a lot of your videos and other folks like yourself. Baits that I bought and never really used Baits that I never considered. I watch you guys explain them. I go out to my local lake and I Commit to fishing a lure for several hours. And through this process I've added about 10 new Baits to my repertoire. I really appreciate the detail you go into the videos.They Are just the right length. You're easy to listen to and you know what you're talking about. Thanks for the vid's keep up the great work. 0:00 On the humorous side I fished with an old buddy Tom Harbison. He used to tell me Faulkner,The only thing that Baits gonna catch it already caught When it got you at the store, you might as well put that thing in your box and never throw it in the water. That's what led to me using a very small amount of Baits over the years.
I really like this year's format! Lots of juice in the series this year. I especially like seeing the bait and the setup. I have four of your rods and they give me confidence when fishing your new Crush City products.
Great video, very informative and helpful. Thanks for taking time to share your knowledge with everyone. My favorite part is when you said that you just want to help people to catch more fish. Thank you. Best of luck to you.
Great info! I Love the process of your education! Bait, retrieval, location, structure, weather condition, temp , water clarity, time of year .. helps us all break things down on our home lake as well as new lakes.. You Rock Sir !!
Awesome video, WOW Makes me think that a video series of where bass usually are by water temperature! I would love that, temperature is a way of making it consistent for us northern fisherman. Thanks for your time Sir
Yessir!!! Great vid. My favorite part was the tip on how to work the freeloader with slack line. The frog example was good. You’re legit man! You, DC,MDJ,AA are my favs for sure.
I met you at Dale hollow and I live in Crossville Tennessee I enjoy all of your videos I love getting all of the tips and enjoy all the shenanigans that go on in the house with all the other guys just keep it up
thanks for the great content! My favorite tip was about the freeloader and how there needs to be slack. I was at guntersville 2 weeks ago and couldn’t generate those off shore bites, but I think if I knew that I could’ve caught em. Thanks!
Went out today was unconfinident in the freeloader so I threw the mayor. Finally threw it no electronics 3 bass. Just gets heavy kinda like pulling through weeds. Very fun going for more tomorrow. What's the best color for a really stained chocolate river.
There’s some good stuff in this one! Do you tune up your buzzbaits? I’ve heard of guys tying their buzzbait to their antenna on the hood of their truck or something similar. Etc.
I've been fishing my entire life, but am new to fishing with plastics, starting this year. Already spent TONS on everything I should need to dive right in, but I have a question.....What's your opinion on Slobberknockers and SNAP Jigs?
I'm in Missouri and my local lake is 14 feet high up in the flooded bushes.Im having a hard time getting on the fish. What would you suggest other than jig fishing? Sinkos are hit and miss.
Thank you. We are in the month of May and my wife doesn't like getting up early. Well, I made her listen to this video. Again , THANK YOU. She understands now. Now the "monkey" is on your back. lol. I have said this for a long time. You just confirmed me.
Man you’re so good at helping Learning anglers try new things with proper gear and new bait,. I live in Ontario Canada Would free loader work with wallaye?
If I want a smaller profile buzzbait I’ll cut the skirt thin and short and put a small craw or swimbait on it to match the hatch of the forage. Thats about the only time I’ve used a skirt recently. Rod setup is a 7 ft medium/ heavy 40lb braid
@@WheelerFishingPretty cool with your schedule and family you responded. Good luck the rest of the season. I’m picking up my first bass boat next week and looking forward to it.
Hey man good info. If I click your video I aim to watch it all. I'm doing it for info cuz your much better than me and I learn from this channel. I mentioned sending you an email about something couple weeks ago. Life and softball games happened. I will get with ya shortly sir. I used your gr/pump. Craws today in a buddy's pond and got me 5 today that was fun. The claws seem to hold up well to little pesky blue gill. I was able to turn the bait around for 1 more fish which was nice. Kinda hard to do that with the crazy legs chigger craw... keep the videos up. Helps me think there's actually fish in ohio waters
J dub, I have been absolutely struggling the last few weeks. I'm a shore guy for the most part right now because my partners rig is missing in action. Literally (long story) but anyways I've been bank angling and I am by no means a newcomer but since the spawn I can't buy a bite. P.s. on watts bar I know I know but any advice for me brother? I've been literally throwing everything I can think of. And the few bites I have got the last few weeks I've missed them either on the hook set or they've been short strikes (visibly seen). Heeeellllppppp!!!!
And he didn’t even know how to fish in high school till people showed and helped him. Now look to me he’s maybe one out of ten. DC. Is number one Drew Gill Marshall. Both Jones and MDJ. Adrian. Alice Rudd. Tactical passing group. O and JW. Lmao.
Why don’t you have Accent make a buzzbait with the mods you make so you don’t have to cut the lead down and have them not put a skirt with it so people can put there own plastic on it
I see you're still using duckett reels. I use them and really like them it's too bad they have quit making them. You need to get the rights from duckett and start manufacturing under the wheeler reels name.
Turn off my electronics???? How would I ever be able to catch fish I heard you can’t even fish without them 😂 all jokes aside great tips love these kind of videos where you break stuff down
Hey everyone I just updated the links to the baits in the description. I’ll do a better job at this moving forward. Thank you all for watching!
You are human to sir!
The best advice from the best bass fisherman in the world. Thank you Jacob.

Your telling the BEST bass fisherman in the world a May technique !! 😂😂
This does nothing to your image Cowboy
@@scottbassman123 Bro if you read his whole comment... it was more for us reading the comments not Wheeler himself...
Man ,I am much older then you and I learn something Everytime I watch your videos.i count on your top 5 for the month vids,lol thanks keep it up!
You cannot beat learning how and where to use specific baits by listening to you, the best on the bass pro tour!

Great tips thanks. I like the comment about super gluing the half moon weight to the stick bait and that has to be a game changer.
Great video, very informative and helpful. Thanks for taking time to share your knowledge with everyone. My favorite part is when you said that you just want to help people to catch more fish. Thank you. Best of luck to you.
Very good video. Excellent presentation and a good reminder of shad spawn baits with great tips. Thank you!

Thanks for your time Sir
Just started fishing local tournaments with my buddy great video I learned a lot thank man keepem coming! Catchem up!!!
Yessir!!! Great vid. My favorite part was the tip on how to work the freeloader with slack line. The frog example was good. You’re legit man! You, DC,MDJ,AA are my favs for sure.
Congrats on your last win JW!! Really appreciate the tips and how in-depth you go with each technique and bait.
Baits, rigging tips and locations. Only thing missing is setting the hook. Great video. Love the format.
Awesome meeting you in academy, can’t wait for icast and for those mooch minnows to come out
Awesome video Jacob. Big John
We can see your heart into this! Youre a stud man. Thank you so much and best of luck dude
Love the freeloader on a chatterbait
Great video, learned several subtle techniques on tackle presentation!!
I'm always excited to see your video's ready to put them to use. Thank you.
Thanks for shouting out to Banks on his MLF win. He's earned it for sure.
Thank you for recognizing Banks! He looks up to you for sure!
I met you at Dale hollow and I live in Crossville Tennessee I enjoy all of your videos I love getting all of the tips and enjoy all the shenanigans that go on in the house with all the other guys just keep it up
Thank You!
Thanks for all the tips appreciate you! Love watching you fish man maybe one day I'll be out there!
thanks for the great content! My favorite tip was about the freeloader and how there needs to be slack. I was at guntersville 2 weeks ago and couldn’t generate those off shore bites, but I think if I knew that I could’ve caught em. Thanks!
The trick on guntersville is finding less pressured fish. If they’re pressured, there’s nothing you can do to make them bite a lot of the time.
Greenwood, IN Academy sold out of the Gizzard but I grabbed a couple other colors. I already had some Gizzard shad luckily!
So much information in this video! 🔥
Went out today was unconfinident in the freeloader so I threw the mayor. Finally threw it no electronics 3 bass. Just gets heavy kinda like pulling through weeds. Very fun going for more tomorrow. What's the best color for a really stained chocolate river.
Thank you
Thanks Jacob, I'm heading to Guntersville and will use your tips🎣🎣
There’s some good stuff in this one!
Do you tune up your buzzbaits? I’ve heard of guys tying their buzzbait to their antenna on the hood of their truck or something similar. Etc.
Thanks for all the tips . smashed them on a freeloader last weekend it works for sure
On that Free Loader 3/16 rod set up. That was a medium fast or extra fast? What’s your reason for not going with a medium light? To soft if a tip?
I've been fishing my entire life, but am new to fishing with plastics, starting this year. Already spent TONS on everything I should need to dive right in, but I have a question.....What's your opinion on Slobberknockers and SNAP Jigs?
I really enjoy these type of videos. I learn so much and then I can go try it out. It was great meeting you at lake eufaula
You should make a short video of how long you give a slow bite spot you fish before making a call to move spots, and how you calculate it.. 🔥🎣🔥
I'm in Missouri and my local lake is 14 feet high up in the flooded bushes.Im having a hard time getting on the fish. What would you suggest other than jig fishing? Sinkos are hit and miss.
They ain’t gotno hands!!!! Probably my favorite saying of all time!!
Great tidbits! Thanks for sharing. Next time please provide links of the lures, hooks and rigs in the description section 😉
Jacob you have some beautiful color shade settings I’d love for you to drops the color shade settings that would be helpful too
Tips on the free loader is awesome ... Thanks for a great video
Thank you for all the tips I appreciate them a lot. Keep up the great videos and good luck on the tournament trail.
Jacob,why don't rapala make the freeloader smaller? Like a 3" or 2 3/4"
Great video. Love this format
That tip on using the freeloader.. making sure there's slack in the line to get that roll is money.. Thank you...
Great video JDub... Thanks for the tips. Greatly appreciated 🎉
Great advice. Thank you
Can't wait to try the free loader it's been a challenge to get, lol but the mayor and the BLT smash them. Definitely my new favorite
Thank you. We are in the month of May and my wife doesn't like getting up early. Well, I made her listen to this video. Again , THANK YOU. She understands now. Now the "monkey" is on your back. lol. I have said this for a long time. You just confirmed me.
You are my favorite bass fisherman I really like you you are pretty good bass fisherman
Great video as usual. By the way, was that you in Valdosta GA on St. Augustine RD turning onto I-75N yesterday (14MAY) around 1400?
Man you’re so good at helping Learning anglers try new things with proper gear and new bait,. I live in Ontario Canada
Would free loader work with wallaye?
which map card are you using on that Lowrance ?
Just made an order! Good stuff 💪🏻
LIKE THE INFORMATION EVERY TIME
32:40 and we appreciate you sir
I think I got it shake shake shake shake shake pop pop pop pop love the sound effects. Good video Jacob very informative. 👍👍👍👍👍.
Where do you get images like that ?
You forgot about your northern boyz… daggummit you said you wasn't going to leave us out.. 😅 thanks for the tips j dub
Thanks for the great information.
What action are those chatter rods
Cool deal keep it up! And the rods bent!
Two questions what’s your preferred buzz bait setup? And 2 what make you choose skirt vs plastic?
If I want a smaller profile buzzbait I’ll cut the skirt thin and short and put a small craw or swimbait on it to match the hatch of the forage. Thats about the only time I’ve used a skirt recently. Rod setup is a 7 ft medium/ heavy 40lb braid

Throwing freeloader on chatter, will try on jig head after watching this months bait vid, thanks for the tip
Little tid bit for Cherokee this weekend.
As a student of the game that doesn't benefit much from beginner stuff anymore, I definitely appreciate the more nuanced nuggets!
Thanks for information it helps .
Yes I watched your whole video and I think that is a pretty neat idea what you just told me to do
Thanks for the info J DUB
Wheeler has the best RUclips for fishing . Most would force you to be a paid member for this type of info .
What reels do you use
When's that stick bait drop? 5 inch 6 inch? What we looking at
Great info, catch'um up j-dub..😅
The zzzzzzzzz is great!!! 😅😂
