The Trash Fish and Flashy Thingy go well together. It looks like a little shark and a pilot fish in the water. I'm thinking the blade might be just the thing to give that bait a better presence and a panicked vibration for fish to hone in on, then the visual can seal the deal. The smaller versions have worked well on skirtless chatter-baits in the past.
Dude literally a month ago I switched up on a rough day with a swinging weighted head a keitech fat 3.8 white flash trailer on a Colorado blade spinner. Man it was game on slow rolling it with a pull up on the rod and letting that bait fall back to a slow roll. They would usually smash it reeling in that loose line. Since I've caught over 40 nice bass on the same technique. I was like yes yes when I saw you pull that rig out. Love the channel. It's been a great year for me fishing here in eastern NC. A lot of thanks to you guys and all the tips.
I'm so glad owner changed the style of the flashy swimmer. a few years ago the blades would come off when a fish jumped. They seem to have corrected that problem. if you ever want to make the blade more compact, take the wire off of the hook and take the blade off of the wire. Attach the split ring on the blade to a barrel swivel (I used the spro barrel swivels). Attach another split ring to the other side of the barrel swivel a d attach it to the hook in place of the wire. It makes it more compact and didn't mess up the action of the bait. Those hooks work great with flukes too.
Realistic Fishing Nahhh it's not lacking, I spent 4 days 'Really Big SB' fishing on New Malones Reservoir (a California trout stocking Recreation Lake) in four days I got a small handful of followers a half-dozen tail grabs and 'ONE' 14 pound largemouth :-). Now my fishing buds think I'm some sort of swimbait Guru!! Just for being at the right 'Place' at the right 'Time' with three and half days of the most boring fishing you can imagine... lmao
Just placed my order for a few of the Owner Swing Blades and used your link on TW. They look like an awesome bait and I plan to throw them with Keitech 3.8's. Enjoy your videos, thank you.
Great vid Tim, emphasis on getting up and in there! Ticking weed tops and running weed lanes is a must, it's like walking up and down their block and knocking on the door. But I've found my biggest girls right in the thick of the brush and weeds. I like to creep right into their house, it's hard to toss your hard-earned money right into the thick of Snagglepuss! But I personally believe it's a must do and a good 'Retriever' is a must have!... lol
nice baits! just started throwing the big swimbaits.. hopefully I get into some big ones..thanks for the vid..and hope everybody in Cali is safe with those crazy rains out there..
Clear lake - We slammed the bass in the middle of the day July 4th on rock piles at 20 to 25 ft on the under spin on 4.8 KT. Everyone else gave up and went in. Thanks for your tip. 4.5 was the biggest.
i like the weedless osprey, want to give that a try. I didnt make mine weedless, however i did keep it a line through by taking the weight out and placing it back in pointed up. this way i can drag the bottom without getting hung up so much.
Have you guys ever tried the pop- rivet rig on a keitech or similar swimbait? Ultimately it's a line through set up, saves bait, and improves hook up. Mark Zona and Ott Defoe use it a lot
That Owner Flash Swing Blade looks sick! It almost seems like a beefed up Beetle Spin on roids along with that prop. I'll definitely need to try that out this year!
Hey guys, I came up with a interesting rigging technique. When making a texted the, start with the first hook insertion in the nose of the bait, and slide it all the way to the eye just like a normal rig. but then slide a jig rattle onto the hook and continue the rig! I have cought fish with it on flukes before. keep up the good work! -Your biggest fan :)
TacticalBassin I don't fish ponds that much but I used that rig with a Big wave worm tiki shad in black/blue, and I slayyyyed then dirty water 3lbers. Have you ever used the wave worm tikis? Or what flukes do you guys use?
Hey gents just a little food for thought but an East Tx company: smash tech has a some big swim baits with a good looking hook slot. I haven't tried them yet but from what I've seen it looks like the bait drops out of the way really far for a good hook up. I'm not trying to promote them but it's a bait I'm curious to try and has apparently been doing well on Lake Fork
Hello Tactical Bassin! I'm going to Kentucky Lake in the end of March and I'm looking for some advice. Last year, a probable 9+ pounder broke me off so I'm looking for some revenge. I was just wondering if you had anything you would personally try or any tips you have. Ps, the fish broke off on the connection knot(braid to mono) which was a Albright so I changed to a FG. Anyways, any tips would help tremendously! Thanks!
The problem I have with owner beast hooks on those big soft paddle tail swimbaits like a 3:16 Rising Son or Weedless Rising Son is that hook point doesn't want to stay Tex-posed in the back of the bait and is constantly popping back out. I may be hooking it wrong but a simple tip or trick you use to remedy that problem would be much obliged. Great video as always.
It all depends on the bait. If they have a slightly concave back it doesn't matter and you can just let them ride with the point exposed as the higher edges of the bait still keep it protected.
TacticalBassin makes sense, thank you for the response. I just think with that exposed or slightly exposed hook will cause problems trying to throw up in some flooded terrestrial grass or pad/stems.
Hey guys, a little after you guys have posted the video. I'm looking for description on differences between two specific Osprey baits. The flat back line through vs the inline. And if you have a preference towards one or the other??? Can't find any literature on either and a comment back would be awesome, and make life much easier when placing the next order.
I love your swimbait videos so much guys!!! it was 60° this past weekend here in Wisconsin!! So the ice might come off before March!!! Cant wait! Keep up amazing videos! -Your biggest fan :)
have you guys did a review on the river2sea Rover yet? I would love to see a review from you guys on it. best set up to throw it on, line, how best way to work it. love the videos guys keep em rollin
Probably been covered but when fishing the swimbaits do you crank your drag down. Love the videos and hope all the homes are safe in area. Fingers crossed lake opens before my trip in late march
the Owner Flash Swing Blade looks like something that would suit my fishing style perfectly, thanks for sharing that one. Also, from the previous unboxing, you purchased some PowerPro hi-vis yellow... I was wondering if you had spooled it up and if you felt that it made an appreciable improvement in tracking your line?
Nice video. Give us a shot of your back yard under water. We all hear you guys are in trouble and all but its hard to find updated video of really what its like. At least for me I cant seem to find it I just hear a lot of lakes are very full.
Just out of curiosity, Matt has said in a video that belly-hooking will kill fish. I noticed Tim here seems to be a fan of this Osprey tourny talon, that has an obvious belly-hook. Does the bait have the option of top-hooking the way Savage line thru bait does? If not, any suggestions on a big 8-10 in. paddle tail that can be thrown on those Owner beast hooks? I'd prefer that big weedless rig opposed to a belly-hook.
We've been throwing swimbaits for almost 15 years. If its been made we've owned it at one time or another. (not kidding) I'm not sure we'll ever do a swimbait arsenal vid but if you need input on giant baits we've got you covered... Matt did nothing but throw giant baits for a decade before branching back into "normal" bass fishing. If you go to our channel and check out our playlists we've got a TON of swimbait stuff from the last few years.
Love the video. Would like to know what you think bout the Livetarget swimbaits. They look good to me. Just starting the big swimbaits game. Watching your videos help me out a lot. Still no 10 lb. thank you both for the great work you do for all of us.
Great video as always. What bait do you recommend at Ballard's bar this spring? I'm going to give this lake a try. We just moved down the highway a bit.Thanks
TacticalBassin you guys are the best deserve every penny you get. Its great how you guys include the stories of humble beginnings. As a fellow fisherman that finally figuring out that i can turn my passion into a career. You guys are inspirational
Just curious.... Assuming you had only 1 8" Huddleston, how long with regular everyday fishing would you say that SB will last you? I see you have loads of em hanging on your SB rack in the background so I'm saying to myself " how often does he rotate those baits?"
do you normally order you huddlestons from tacklewarehouse? I was wondering because I sent in an exchange form for a different huddleston in january. it said they were out stock til January 24th. then when the 24th came it said it wasn't in Stock until February 7th. then it moved to the 14th. then the 23rd. and now it's saying it won't be in stock until March 9th. does it normally take this long? And why don't they know the when they will be in stock?
Yeah that's where we get all of ours. So what that is, is the date the manufacturer (in this case huddleston) told Tackle Warehouse they'd get them more product to fulfill orders. The date came and went and the manufacturer didn't ship so TW has to change the date to the next date they're promised. TW isn't the problem on that one... its a supply issue. Hang in there Bro, that sucks!
Tim, I really enjoy your and Mark's videos. I am a new subscriber. Do you guys ever fish outside of Northern California? The few videos I've seen so far focus on Northern Cal and the high water you're now experiencing.
Tom, we live in Northern California so that is our base but we absolutely travel. And more than that, we are very mindful to the styles everywhere and go out of our way to cover styles and techniques that will benefit anglers everywhere.
If you're wanting to get into the BIG swimbait game, the $20 range is about as inexpensive as it gets. Its all relative and we toally understand that its out of budget for some. But in all seriousness if its too expensive, you'll be afraid to throw it in the right areas anyway. A less expensive, downsized option would be the Keitech Fat 5.8": bit.ly/2ab7s8v
Since you guys don't have any spinnerbait videos up I'll ask here. When to use a gold or Chrome blade and when use one over a crankbait and vice versa. Or straight up doing a spinnerbaiting video would be swell!
Spinnerbait video is coming :-) Its at the top of the list for our next round of filming. But a couple videos back we did one on selecting color... and there's a bunch in there on selecting blade colors.
Hey guys. First off I love your guys stuff. its helped me out alot. but ok so i bought a osprey top hook but its swimming to one side(leaning to one side). is there anything you would suggest for me to troubleshoot to try to get it swimming right? Thanks
righteous brother...I've never used swimbaits until lately, due to my son watching these videos. I've always been a run-n-gun guy with spinner/crankbaits; occasionally slowing for a Carolina rigged lizard.
I just got on with Keitech and they are sending me some 6.8" and 7.8" Swing Impact FAT prototypes and that 12/0 Owner should work great on them. can't wait to try them soon on Clear Lake! Thanks guys! Great video!
Lol right after I watched you seminar, I went to a pond, picked up a jerk bait for like the 3rd time in my life and 4th cast, caught my new 7lb pb
That's so awesome! Congratulations Bob!
The Trash Fish and Flashy Thingy go well together. It looks like a little shark and a pilot fish in the water.

CLICKBAIT! Thumbnail had Matt and video only had Tim! Im OUTRAGED
Ha!
AHAHAHAHA lol facts I was thinking the same thing lolll sry Tim we still love u...
Also Tyler I think u mean “enraged”...
Those are some big swimbaits! My SB game is lacking... lol
Realistic Fishing Nahhh it's not lacking, I spent 4 days 'Really Big SB' fishing on New Malones Reservoir (a California trout stocking Recreation Lake) in four days I got a small handful of followers a half-dozen tail grabs and 'ONE' 14 pound largemouth :-). Now my fishing buds think I'm some sort of swimbait Guru!! Just for being at the right 'Place' at the right 'Time' with three and half days of the most boring fishing you can imagine... lmao
The surface water temp just hit 50 degrees here in middle TN. I hope to fish more swimbaits this year.
Realistic Fishing good luck brother. Enjoy watching your videos too. Keep up the good work man
Thanks!
FatBasstard, congrats on the monster. I've been fishing Melones with big SB's with little luck. Glad to hear somebody's getting it done.
Just placed my order for a few of the Owner Swing Blades and used your link on TW. They look like an awesome bait and I plan to throw them with Keitech 3.8's. Enjoy your videos, thank you.
Thank you Mike! We really appreciate it!
Nice Tim....I guess while you were sick last week you were ordering tackle. Thanks for sharing....now....time to order more swimbaits!
Ha! Can't afford to be sick... always ends in more tackle purchases
You guys inspired me to do my own TWH unboxing, and I even gave you guys a shout-out. Thanks for these consistent videos!
Awesome! Thanks Bud!
Great vid Tim, emphasis on getting up and in there! Ticking weed tops and running weed lanes is a must, it's like walking up and down their block and knocking on the door. But I've found my biggest girls right in the thick of the brush and weeds. I like to creep right into their house, it's hard to toss your hard-earned money right into the thick of Snagglepuss! But I personally believe it's a must do and a good 'Retriever' is a must have!... lol
Thanks bud! Keep that lure retriever handy.
Time to start pouring the swimbaits Saturday night! Can't wait to pick up some of those 12/0s for the bigger ones! Great video Tim!
Yeah buddy!
nice baits! just started throwing the big swimbaits.. hopefully I get into some big ones..thanks for the vid..and hope
everybody in Cali is safe with those crazy rains out there..
Thanks Brother!
Great unboxing, can't wait to see your video's with these new swim baits.
Thanks!
That weedless set up is sweet looking, gonna have to get that for myself!
Definitely!
Clear lake - We slammed the bass in the middle of the day July 4th on rock piles at 20 to 25 ft on the under spin on 4.8 KT. Everyone else gave up and went in. Thanks for your tip. 4.5 was the biggest.
That's awesome Mike!!
Excited to see you get out and catch some big bass on the new lures!
Thanks Victor!
i like the weedless osprey, want to give that a try. I didnt make mine weedless, however i did keep it a line through by taking the weight out and placing it back in pointed up. this way i can drag the bottom without getting hung up so much.

Right after watching I loaded up on the Osprey Inlines and I got some of the Owner Beast Flashy Swimmers. Cant wait to try them out.
Hooked how were they?
They were definitely good but I feel like I get more action from my Megabass magdrafts.
Hooked damn I still got a reply from a 3 year old comment! Haha! I’m looking into them!
That Owner Flash Swing Blade looks sick! It almost seems like a beefed up Beetle Spin on roids along with that prop. I'll definitely need to try that out this year!
FishingThePNW I was just thinking the same thing
It looks good man. Time will tell but its very promising!
It looks cool for sure. My only concern is in their product video, the propeller does not turn but still looks cool to buy one to try
Hey guys, I came up with a interesting rigging technique. When making a texted the, start with the first hook insertion in the nose of the bait, and slide it all the way to the eye just like a normal rig. but then slide a jig rattle onto the hook and continue the rig!

You'll love them!

great tip on with the owner flashy hook and the inline Swimbait💯🔥
Thanks Bud!
nice looking baits tim
Thanks Tony!
I love your swimbait videos so much guys!!! it was 60° this past weekend here in Wisconsin!! So the ice might come off before March!!! Cant wait! Keep up amazing videos! -Your biggest fan :)
Hopefully your ice melts soon!
have you guys did a review on the river2sea Rover yet? I would love to see a review from you guys on it. best set up to throw it on, line, how best way to work it. love the videos guys keep em rollin
Probably been covered but when fishing the swimbaits do you crank your drag down. Love the videos and hope all the homes are safe in area. Fingers crossed lake opens before my trip in late march
Lock that drag! :-)
@ 1:19 "get online watch fishing videos and buy fishing tackle"! I love it! So true
LOL yes it is!
the Owner Flash Swing Blade looks like something that would suit my fishing style perfectly, thanks for sharing that one. Also, from the previous unboxing, you purchased some PowerPro hi-vis yellow... I was wondering if you had spooled it up and if you felt that it made an appreciable improvement in tracking your line?
It definitely makes a difference in trackability, especially in lighter line.
How about a video about what is going on with the flooding at Clear Lake?
We're working on it :-) If you follow us on Facebook we've been posting quite a bit about it.
awesome video..def about to put in a order at tw for some of these. thanks for sharing.
Nice video. Give us a shot of your back yard under water. We all hear you guys are in trouble and all but its hard to find updated video of really what its like. At least for me I cant seem to find it I just hear a lot of lakes are very full.
We'll be getting some video of it. Its BAD up here!
I use the owner flashys with keitechs. And they almost make you not need any other lure tied on.
Pretty amazing little baits
TacticalBassin incase for some reason y'all need another big fish method - a 5.8" keitech FAT with the 8/0 owner flashy is a pretty good one.
Another great video guys!!
When fishing just your normal 1/2 oz underspin with a 5" swimbait, what pound test line do ya'll recommend?
Typically 15-20 lb
Just out of curiosity, Matt has said in a video that belly-hooking will kill fish. I noticed Tim here seems to be a fan of this Osprey tourny talon, that has an obvious belly-hook. Does the bait have the option of top-hooking the way Savage line thru bait does? If not, any suggestions on a big 8-10 in. paddle tail that can be thrown on those Owner beast hooks? I'd prefer that big weedless rig opposed to a belly-hook.
Keep up the swimbait stuff!!!!Maybe do an arsenal video? Saw you had a hinkle shad, didn't know that.
We've been throwing swimbaits for almost 15 years. If its been made we've owned it at one time or another. (not kidding) I'm not sure we'll ever do a swimbait arsenal vid but if you need input on giant baits we've got you covered...

Awesome videos guys i wanted to ask you guys while you're in the boat what do use to store ur swimbaits so the fins or boot tail stay str8
We use standard deep plano boxes or bait wraps. Here are the wraps... bit.ly/2idps7n
Love the video. Would like to know what you think bout the Livetarget swimbaits. They look good to me. Just starting the big swimbaits game. Watching your videos help me out a lot. Still no 10 lb. thank you both for the great work you do for all of us.
So far we're impressed. Not a fan of the hook placement but they're nice baits with a great kick.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Just started get bits on soft 6" swim baits. Had one 7 or 8lbs come off at my flout tub.
Love your videos! Can't wait to catch my first swimbait bass!!!
Good luck Ivan!
Great video Tim! I have never used those bait so what rod/reel combo would I start with?
Thanks! These rods bit.ly/2emaKYZ paired with this reel bit.ly/2kYsvRw for the big baits.
Great video as always. What bait do you recommend at Ballard's bar this spring? I'm going to give this lake a try. We just moved down the highway a bit.Thanks
Thanks! Search "tacticalbassin spotted bass", we've got several videos about baits for spots that will be perfect for there.
Thank you!
Holy hell those Owner flashy!!!
Right??? They're AWESOME
I went up to Clearlake yesterday to find our dock destroyed. Man the the lake is full is full and is still rising.
Its bad! So many docks and backyards destroyed. Hopefully we can get a break from the rain and get the water level down.
Hahaha looks my order i opened a couple days ago great video. I hope tackle warehouse gives you guys a cut I order more stuff on your guys suggestions
We really appreciate that! They do, that's how we keep the lights on around here :-)
TacticalBassin you guys are the best deserve every penny you get. Its great how you guys include the stories of humble beginnings. As a fellow fisherman that finally figuring out that i can turn my passion into a career. You guys are inspirational
Awesome can't wait for more
Thanks Gary!
what do you guys think about the live target swimbaits? I haven't tried them yet but they look good.
Just curious.... Assuming you had only 1 8" Huddleston, how long with regular everyday fishing would you say that SB will last you? I see you have loads of em hanging on your SB rack in the background so I'm saying to myself " how often does he rotate those baits?"
It totally varies. Some last one fish, the next lasts for weeks.
Great info on those products. What color was the lipless crankbait you caught your tank on?
Joe Patrick American Shad I believe.
Awesome video! Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Very informative once again gentleman. Thank you!
Thanks Jacob!
Ok well I'm gonna take the plunge and go for a 6" or 7" osprey inline talon... was size hook? 7, 8, 9, or 10/0 weighted beast/magnum hook?
Ps. Thanks for the quick replies!
Last one for awhile haha.... what color for lakes that have shad and other lakes that have rainbow trout in SoCal?!
hey matt, im gonna be fishing with you this spring in april just wondering what some key baits are going to good there in april
It totally varies year to year but lipless cranks, a-rigs, swimbaits, etc... usually product.
do you normally order you huddlestons from tacklewarehouse? I was wondering because I sent in an exchange form for a different huddleston in january. it said they were out stock til January 24th. then when the 24th came it said it wasn't in Stock until February 7th. then it moved to the 14th. then the 23rd. and now it's saying it won't be in stock until March 9th. does it normally take this long?

Hang in there Bro, that sucks!
TacticalBassin ok thanks. also nice video by the way!!
Those flashy swimmers are amazing I bet you don't lose a swimmer those things DO NOT SNAG SUPER WEEDLESS
They're awesome!
Tim, I really enjoy your and Mark's videos. I am a new subscriber. Do you guys ever fish outside of Northern California? The few videos I've seen so far focus on Northern Cal and the high water you're now experiencing.
Tom, we live in Northern California so that is our base but we absolutely travel. And more than that, we are very mindful to the styles everywhere and go out of our way to cover styles and techniques that will benefit anglers everywhere.
Any tips on catching a trophy smallmouth in these conditions? Almanor, pardee???
If you caught our last couple videos on muddy water fishing those cover it. The smallies will eat those same baits.
how are u rigging the osprey 7 inch. on the 12/0 I seen u twisted it on but if it's an in line won't it interview with the 12/0? make a video ?
We pull out the inline weight and then screw in the nose screw of the 12/0
For those who can't afford a $20 osprey... what would you recommend?
If you're wanting to get into the BIG swimbait game, the $20 range is about as inexpensive as it gets. Its all relative and we toally understand that its out of budget for some. But in all seriousness if its too expensive, you'll be afraid to throw it in the right areas anyway. A less expensive, downsized option would be the Keitech Fat 5.8": bit.ly/2ab7s8v
Lol that is exactly what I do when i can't go fish. Shop,research,plan
do you think the large swimbait is too big to fish in the streets of san Jose?
LOL...
Since you guys don't have any spinnerbait videos up I'll ask here. When to use a gold or Chrome blade and when use one over a crankbait and vice versa. Or straight up doing a spinnerbaiting video would be swell!
Spinnerbait video is coming :-) Its at the top of the list for our next round of filming. But a couple videos back we did one on selecting color... and there's a bunch in there on selecting blade colors.
Hey Matt (or Tim). For the 6" Osprey Inline Tournament Talon, what size Owner hook do you recommend? Thanks!
10/0 or 12/0?
Shoot, or 8/0? Thanks.
8/0
Appreciate you guys!
Hey guys. First off I love your guys stuff. its helped me out alot. but ok so i bought a osprey top hook but its swimming to one side(leaning to one side). is there anything you would suggest for me to troubleshoot to try to get it swimming right? Thanks
Sounds like the tail got bent. If that's the case just hold it in boiling water then hang it straight. If that isn't the problem, fish it slower. :-)
Can the 6" ospre be fished like a wake bait top water?
great info tim!
Thanks Kyle!
Hey you got a dark blue shirt!! They only give us the sand color option!! 😂
LOL
How do you like the Rytham Waves? How do they compare to the Impacts?
They're nice. They're a little flatter so they don't work as well as trailers but they work great as a stand alone swimbait.
awesome video can you do one about topwater lures
We've actually done quite a few. Search "tacticalbassin topwater" and you'll find a bunch of videos!
In the dobyns rod champion swimbait line, which rod would you recommend for throwing the 10'' hudd. Thanks
Going to guess the 908
Yes, the 908. Here's the link: bit.ly/2aivwYX
you guys should be at 300k subs. always awesome vids 😆
Thanks so much! We'll just keep pushing forward :-)
I'm dying for a Huddleston 68 special but cannot afford one.
good intel bro...a tad big for us further east, but good stuff!
Thanks for watching Kevin! Just remember you can take that same info and drop it down to the 5/0 and apply it to the same conditions :-)
righteous brother...I've never used swimbaits until lately, due to my son watching these videos. I've always been a run-n-gun guy with spinner/crankbaits; occasionally slowing for a Carolina rigged lizard.
Will big swimbaits like the Hudd catch fish in murky water BC I have caught some swimbait fish in a pond wth toads that has muddy water
They sure will
TacticalBassin ok ty, I love the thumbnail
Fellas can y'all do another in depth jig video?
We can ALWAYS do more jig videos! Have you watched our others? There are quite a few of them.
TacticalBassin I've watched them all. They are amazing!!!!!!
What size for the lv500 hooks?

What do you guys think of those Lucky Craft LV RTO Lipless baits?
Not as big a fan of the lipless as we are of the RTO squarebills and deep cranks. Those are SWEET
Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated
Hey guys! What is your guys go to color for the LV on clear lake?
Ghost Minnow or American Shad
Do swim baits work in cold muddy water?

Have you guys tried the livetarget swimbaits yet?
