- In four words or less I will describe the new Mattlures Hammertail Shad.
Taxidermy quality
Seductive swim
If you only knew that, you would be well informed....but there is more that we will examine.
Mattlures is releasing his newest big, soft swimbait for those in pursuit of giants. The realism is next-level stuff. Every physical attribute of a real shad has been realized in the design of this bait. Details abound from the scaling, to clear fins, to gill plates, and subtly faded- multi color metallic paint. Its ALL there. But, bass don't look at a lure at a tabletop to appreciate such nuance. They see it swimming and decide whether to eat. As you will see from the underwater footage seen from afar, those same small details add up to a look in the water that simply approaches a real living, swimming shad, more so than any other large, soft shad bait I have seen. Utilizing a large, pendulum style tail this bait can be crawled along the bottom, slowly, while still eliciting full tail kicking action. Those who have long fished the 8" Huddleston trout, but have shad and not trout in their waters, are in for a treat. This is a very large lure, particularly in height (belly to backline). After two and a half months fishing the Hammertail Shad I feel it is a standout lure for those pursuing TRULY giant bass.

Awesome looking bait ! ...glad your back uploading your great informative vids 👍👍👍
Glad to see you back, keep up the great content.👍🏻
I just got my first Cardiff for father's day... couldn't agree with you more. Fantastic reel for the $.
Great to see you back! Being from New Jersey as well and I know the bite is always tough!
Awesome in depth video! Because of your detailed video I just purchased my first mattlures hammertail shad! I live in Arizona, and gizzard are EVERYWHERE. I’m bound to get bit, thanks for the content man, gonna look through all your videos first time on your channel! Tight lines man ✌️
Happy to have you back!
Glad to see you back!
Interesting looking swimbait. Thank you for the review man!
So glad to see you’ve posted ! Keep up the outstanding quality Tight Lines Brother 🎣👊✌️✊
Hey man (love the screen name)....thanks for the support! Got a lot of reviews and projects coming.....I'm just slower than most :P
Sick editing man! Glad to see ya back. Keep it up man!
AWESOME looking bait!! I don't have a huge shad population in my local waters BUT I did just stopped by the Mattlures website & picked up 3 versions of the hammertail Bluegill!! OMG, they look incredible as well and should slay the big girls in my area!! Thanks!
Had to stop everything. Good to see a upload from you again!
ha ha.....thanks dude
Great video bud. This lure is incredible
CAN'T WAIT! definitely buying both this and the bluegill
Because of your video, I ordered two of these along with two ultimate shads (the boot tail version of this)!! Time to go get heavier line and prepare to hang on!!!
great review! If I still lived in the South I would definitely be fishing it...
Bout time man..been wondering what happened to you. Greatly appreciate the video..seen a few soft plastic shad baits but nothing compared to this. Hope there's more where this came from video wise..cheers!!
Nice lure. I’ve been using some “Storm” anchovie lures in saltwater and those things get hit all the time while trolling in the kayak.
Felt like forever since your last posted video!!! Excellent content as usual!!!
Nice. Your back!
Another great vid Carl. Hey swimbait manufacturers, just like the Hudd, see how that head has very little side to side action, very little searching, that's how a real fish swims, and what makes the Hudd, and Matt's do great. Noticed that internal structure too, and agree with your "wish". Just waiting for a vid of a fish on it!
Great review and going to get one!
I grew up fishing in northern n.j. 70s and 80s. I lived about a mile from Wawayanda state park. I usually fished Barry Lake. I’m really impressed with your channel. Wish I could have fished with you back in the day!
Hey Joe, thanks man. Wawayanda is beautiful. Fished a few times 3-4 years ago. Is Barry still public access?
KeepinItReelFishing not sure if Barry Lake is public access. When I lived there, anyone could fish that lake. It has some big bass and pickerel. I walked there when I was a child and fish any time I wanted. I was introduced to the technique of fishing Jelly worms. (Specifically purple and black). I would love to go back.
My boy is back !
*KIRF awesome awesome video. The music.✔ The editing.✔ The review.✔ The swimbait. OMFG✔ All your videos are good but you knocked this one out the park. Grandslam.*
Wow...thanks Mike. Every time I finish a video I'm like "how the hell is this thing 30 minutes long??!!" But, in contrast to most of the quickie 5 min video's out there I think mine have a place. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave the feedback man.
This is what the live Target swimbait should have been.
I'll be looking into these
Lureworks Bondcoat put on the harness and allowed to dry before pouring the plastic will prevent slippage big time. It almost works too well when you want to reuse a harness. I have mentioned it to Matt. Not sure what the issue was but he said it would not work for him. Hopefully he finds something to help with this. Good looking bait for sure. Thanks for posting.
I made the wedgetail Egret baits have, back in the late nineties. Lonnie Stanley patented it and marketed it, and now Egret has it. Bill Siemantel seen Lonnie swimming it at an Icast show, and took some to Ken in Bend Oregon, and they used it, to evolve the Huddleston. Smithbaits used the wedge tail on their six inch swimmer. I made the patented cylinder tail, that Black dog has sat on. I made the tail, Jerry Rago is using on his Alpha tail series. I gave it to Grant Olguin, and he showed it to Rago. Jerry called me, and asked if he could use it, which I told him to go for it. I sent a swimmer to Matt, but He wanted something different, so I told him to make a forked cylinder tail, and do some blending at the front portion and put in his tail ray cosmetics, which is now the hammer tail. He did a good job of it. Dream Smasher swimbaits, I gave the originals to Dave Cindrich and now, owner Tom Campbell, and He has done a wonderful job on his baits, and the only one that has given me credit for the designs, publicly. I have many more sweet tails. Just swam a new one, that wants to touch its nose ,with the tail. Just giving a little history on the origin, ,of the many tails, that are still coming ,from the original. Years from now,there will be as many swimtails ,as the Mr. Twister Sassy Shad paddle tail, has become, after the patent ran out. Everyone of these swimmer tails on the market,bar none, including Matts super sweet Hammertail ,is action adjustable. The wider, or thicker the tail, tail connection ,and body, the slower and wider, it will swim, from side to side. The narrower the tail thickness, tail connection and body, the faster and narrower, the tail will swim. I have very thin tails,tail connector and shad bodies, that swim very rapidly like a fleeing shad, and vice versa. You could actually make three or four shad models, to fit various swim rates. the rapid swimmers ,are good burn and search baits.
Thank you for the info... I am smarter now because of your info...
Best reviews on the planet! Bar none...
Also looking forward to the Cardiff review
Never clicked on a video card so fast before. An amazing KIRF video was much needed! Loved the video as always. Kudos to Matt like always on the extreme realism of his baits, but I agree that he needs a weedless model in most all his bait lines. Speaking from another Northeast big bait angler, its just so much better fishing a weedless style bait in my opinion since our lakes typically have so much cover that isn't just rocky bottom.
Thanks for the love bro. And yes, I totally agree with you. If Matt were to make a weedless model (particularly a bluegill), that would be a lure that I don't think would ever come off one of my rigs. The bulk of my success here in NJ has come from putting particularly large lures into places only weedless models can go. That 1-2-3 punch of big, real looking, and weedless is, to me, the holy grail (or....I guess holy trinity :P)
KeepinItReelFishing amen to the weedless bluegill idea! I have lots of fun with the Little Creeper Sunfish, but I still want that taxidermy weedless Gill like you do. Always welcome for the love bro. It's well deserved, especially when you're a big part in why I now sling the big stuff with no fear through all the ups and downs.
Great to see you back in action. That lure is incredibly realistic for sure. The heck with the NJ pickerel, there is a lake I fish here in NJ that the musky thrive on big shad like that. While I don't target them, I can see them busting on them.
As always, great review.
Lets see.....Oxford or Mountain Lake?
KeepinItReelFishing, Ha, come on now.
Email sent.....hope you find interesting.
That swimbait looks awesome. Solid, thorough review. I consider the swimbait my go to bait. The colors scheme looks amazingly life-like but in my opinion jointed balsa baits have a far more life-like movement. The Savage & Huddleston baits of this class just seem to move too little for the speed they are moving. Even with that said I will have 1 in my box when available. Cuz let's face it, any avid bass fisherman would gladly put himself in the poor house if offered sumthing that catches the biggest fish in the lake.
Looks awesome
Its true it definitely helps to glue the bait to the harness...well at least with the matts lures gills for me.
Nice looking lures!
Realistic Fishing I gots to get one
When I saw the thumbnail I didn’t see the hook in the lure on top and thought it was an actual fish being compared to the bait on the bottom...pretty impressive
Wow. I don’t really know what to say. Someone’s already mentioned it but when I first saw the thumbnail I thought it was a real shad on top compared to the lure until I realized it was two lures. Amazing
ha ha....crazy stuff, right Kevin?! We live in good times for fishing.
Epic shots.. great editing.. I'm keeping it REEL with support . Just subbed ..
Thank you D.Nasty! Appreciate the kind words and stopping by to watch the vid. Tight lines!
That thing is a beast
Man I really like that.. im a live bait fisherman as well as artificial bait.. but that bait is very impressive. I want it
Now I might buy it
Please make a follow up to your three swimbait videos. Would like to know how well you did this year and prior year after sharing your experience with us with a whole year of fishing swimbaits.
Everybody talking about durability, ever wondered why hudds, sick fish, matt lures, and others have such good looking swimming action and work so good? It's because there made out of soft, supple, plastic. Durability comes at a cost, the cost is you lose action. If your having trouble try mend it. That'll help. But idc if I only get 2 good fish on these it's worth it.
Totally agree Trey. People get hung up on durability, but the point of these bigger swimbaits is not to catch 20 fish a day, but to give one the best odds at a big bass. A large part of which is, like you said, convincing action. Plus, once a bait gets to a certain size there is just so much plastic, which is bound to be thick, that they MUST soften it down considerably to get any kind of action. Thanks for watching and dropping the comment. Tight lines!
Finally!😆
You can never make an artificial fishing lure too realistic. The goal should be for even the smartest fish not to be able to notice a difference between real and artificial. I totally agree with the information in this video.
I really miss your reel review videos, and i´ve noticed you have a few new ones (Cardiff, Scorpion DC etc). Really wich you would upload more frequently... anyway, great video as always! Cheers from the other side of the pond...
Hey Jose. I wish I uploaded more too!! ha ha. Life is just busy. I do what I can, and will always put stuff up. Just not as frequently as most RUclipsrs. I have a lot of footage I took last year upon getting that Scorpion...I'm like 75% done with that one. Just want to a few more perspectives.
I am in nj and have a pond with a few 8 and 9 lbs in it and would love to fish with you there
godamn this took a while, well worth the wait, next the pb video
Yup.....that IS next.
KeepinItReelFishing hell ya cant wait
Glad to see you back. I was wondering what fluoro you were running as leader.
I have used a bunch over the years....and so many have snapped on me. This one here has so far (about a year) been bulletproof. www.tacklewarehouse.com/P-Line_Ultimate_Fluorocarbon_Line/descpage-PLPFC.html
do you get hung a lot draggin bottom with exposed top hook like that ?
Been a long time
Wish i had this lure for snook fishing in florida
Felt like forever man
Got any cast to catch footage or catches at all on it yet?
Do a comparison between that and the DT or the 13 Fishing whatever shad and a Lena shad
Where do you get these at? I cant find em
So did you ever have any luck with these? Really trying to find something for stripers because shad is so hard to catch in the winter. Any suggestions bud?
how much are these baits man? im curious because of the worry of losing it. please lmk if you get a chance.
You should do a review on the baitsanity explorer glide
What’s up from south Jersey. I’m just getting into Swimbait fishing
Looks like you were testing them out at round valley, my neighbor just caught a 7.5lber out of there. Might be the right bait for that body of water
Yup....the clearest underwater shots and some of those shoreline shots were from there. Good eye. Round valley has serious giants in there, but they are tricky tricky to catch.
dude you gotta make more than 1 video per six months!!!
LOL! I KNOW this. Trust me....I'm trying. This one was more 'project' style. I'm working on a bunch of other things that are going to be short and simple.
👐🏽He's back👐🏽
Send me a couple to test I try them for bass on Clearlake ca were I live
.
I think they should already have the harness glued inside before they're packaged for what the baits cost
Where do I sign up for field testing, I'll catch anything on that. I do mean anything I have access to everything from Marlin to world class bass fishing.
Also I’m starting to want to get into the swim bait game, how much did that combo cost?
This is a REALLY good combo for the money. I paid around $85 for the reels new (Ebay) and $120 for the rod. While I have higher end rods and reels, I enjoy fishing this combo just as much....and it is just as capable as those more $ ones.
Can you make a review video on the 316 Rising son
Happy to see a new video, this thing looks like you could fillet it for dinner! In your last video you mentioned a review on that browser rod is that still in the works? Thx Carl great video!
Hey Victor - yup. I'm so so impressed with the Browser. I want to get up my video on my PB so I'm working on the first (right now actually). But, if your on the fence I can recommend the Browser XH with confidence it is satisfies the weight range of big lures you have. Also, the mod-fast action makes it a good 'do everything' big bait rod. Stout enough for jig hook and weedless lures, but with enough give for big treble hook baits as well.
KeepinItReelFishing sounds great definitely going to pick one up thx so much! Excited to see your new pb vid!
My socks stayed where they were.
Faulty socks.
What bait is shown at 24:13 mark ? Thanks
You should do a review of the savage gear browser
what size hook are you using on the 6.8 Keitech?
8/0 Beast or 7/0 Trokar Magnum swimbait hooks. Some people go one full size up from there, but there is no need. Keitech recommends the 8/0, but I found the Trokar 7/0 to be just as effective.
Does anyone know where I can get one??
Carl, I just ordered two of the Hammertail Shads to use on a lake where I know another angler has had great success with a large swimbait. Say, just to be certain, your rod is the Extra Heavy and which size Cardiff are you using? Too, what line are you using? Thanks, Brad
Hi Brad. Yes, that is the XH Savage Gear Browser and the Cardiff 300 series. I have the 301 being I prefer lefty reels. I'm using 65lb braid to a 20lb copoly or mono leader.
@@KeepinItReelFishing Okay, Carl, "got it, will get it." Ha! I just wanted to make certain which specific reel and rod. *** If you desire warmer weather, need a cheap trip, I have the Sportspal, a free bunk room for you on Lake Athens, access to Lake Fork, Toledo Bend, and more great fishing reservoirs than . . . well, it might drive you nuts! Open invitation. Brad
do you know if the hooks are saltwater grade
I don't think so Ed, but double check with Mattlures.
24:14 what is that bluegill lure and also is that savage gear rod still good?
That is the Burrito Baits jig hook gill (light gill). Yes....the Savage Gear rod is really quite good. Very impressed with it.
KeepinItReelFishing thanks been looking at the savage gear rod but didn't know if I should get well guess I'm blowing some money know. Lol.
Would a rod and reel combo like that work for 6.8 Keitech FAT's rigged weedless??? I am considering selling my Tatula HD (on a cranking rod) but at the same time consider keeping it and adding it to a swimbait/A-rig rod... Was tempted to sell a ton of stuff for a Steez XH JDM to just go ultimate river finesse, but the big baits and bites still call my name...
Yes, it will work with the 6.8"....although its at the very low end weight wise of what the rod is rated for. So, you will have all the hook setting power you need, but you won't be able to get quite as long a cast as if you used one power level lower (the Heavy model). But, if you think you might be using bigger 3oz+ stuff in the future I think this one rod would satisfy most of what you would want to do (except lighter treble hook lures).
A new video by Keepinitreelfishing. This aught to be good.
35 - 40 bucks...... definitely worth the money!
Did he catch a fish?
Cardiff. What size? 400?
Can you do a review on the savage gear rods ?
I'm working on a review of the one model I have....the swimbait series Browser in XH.
Do a video on your swimbait collection
I've been getting quite a few requests for this. Will do
OMG.......BASS FISHERMAN GONE PSYCHO. good night, get a room Carl, hahahaha
Ever get a fish (Bass) on it? I just ordered three then I seen this video.....
Could you possibly do a weedless swim bait video??
please post a video catching fish on swims
Now every company is making Vortex tail style.
When’s the video of ur new pb comin?
Thats next! Was just finishing this one here.
Can you do a swim bait Arsenal pls
Where are these available
Dale Loch on Mattlures.com and it is $40 but I'd say it's worth it.
Solarfall bait??
You had me at hello
LOL :)
I just checked his site but he doesnt have the hammer tail shad youre showing
Yup....keep an eye out. It'll be up on there soon.
KeepinItReelFishing i sure will. Thanks. Its the most realistic lures i ever seen. I already own the the ultimate blue gill and u2 gill. I was wondering if he can make a 4 to 5 inch version or the hammer trout in califrornia trout. 10inch is a little too big for me and my area i fish.
I hear ya....that would be a solid option. Who knows....I'm sure Matt will look over these comments. Maybe your planting the seed of possibility.
KeepinItReelFishing i really appreciate all you keepin it reel review vidz. Im always anxious to watch it when the notification pops up. Lol. I got one more question. Im thinking about an all around swimbait and regular size lure rod from 13fishing. Wat would u choose 8' xheavy? If not wat brand rod and model would u choose? Thanks in advance.
Imagine a 5 inch version of this🤤🤤
Just sub’d so I don’t miss the follow up catch vid!
ha ha. Thanks for that! And when I do.....I will!
ETA on availability?
damianraver Cool. Thx
