You'll NEVER Rig a Swimbait the Same After Watching This!

I salt water fish for speckled trout I use a 7 ft rod I used 10 lb braid on a spinning reel I can feel a fish if he touches that jig and I can catch a 20 lb drum with that same setup also use a swivel and I use a speed clip 20 lb monofilam drop line R15 tire speed clip to it and I can take jigs off and on quickly without time that's just my tip for the day I've been doing this for about about 10 years

That's some good feedback on fishing swimbaits. I just began fishing with finesse style swimbaits of all types. What I immediately noticed was that I caught more and better-quality bass, by throwing a swimbait w/an underbelly spin.. on the order of 5:1 when I slow roll the bait to allow the blade to make contact, whether gravel or chunk rock, letting the bait tick off the bottom while occasionally fluttering the bait to trigger a reaction bite..

I accidently bought VMC thicker wire swimbait jighead and found out the same thing that you are much better off using a thinner wire ballhead jig. Absolutely agree with everything in this video. I use to hate throwing paddle tails but learned to love them. There is nothing like feeling that WOMP you get slow rolling a finesse paddle tail in smallmouth country!

Thanks for your content! Your videos have helped me (a Dad) teach my son how to fish and fish well.

The V.M.C Hybrid swimbait screw Lock heads are my favorites!! Thin wired and 3/0 hook.. in Alabama especially on my home lake we have these monster Coosa spots.. throw a 1/4oz with a small body swim bait usually a 3"to-3'.5" inch... I throw a 1/4 to 3/16 oz and slow roll it on the bottom and BANANZO!!! BIGGIN!!!! Love love LOVE those V.M.C Hybrid heads!!

Glad to see you back. Awesome video of the ball head jig. Your spinning rod set up is a 99% match to mine. I like the Keitech tungsten jig head. Sometimes the swimbait doesn’t work so I put a longer ribbon tail worm on the same set up but I rig it weedless like a shakey head If I run out of swimbaits I put a small crawfish on. Be well my friend

I love your videos. You are conscience and to the point and have a great delivery. The most educational videos on YouTube.

Wow, I thought i was rigging them wrong My last fishing trip i had to reposition the plastic up teen times, Lock tight it is from now on. Brilliant Thanks Stevo Oz

Great video!!! Like the tip on highlighting the tail & head. No Mess!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

Thank you man just getting into swimbait fishing definitely not fishing it the same lol!

3.8" and above is what I normally throw and I do use the swimbait jigheads but I'm fishing swift moving creeks and rivers so when they hit they hit that probably aids me in my hookset I imagine next time out I'll try a ball jighead and see if there is anything different I notice I also use baitfuel with most of my soft plastics/swimbaits... Great upload 👌

Great video! Thank you.

You have a fan for life Best fishing vids I have ever seen or heard and I have watched countless 100s. Just so happen back when I did a yearly fly in Canada trip (back in the mid 80's to late 90's) I bought literally a pack of 500 1/4oz ball jig heads and 1k 1/8oz ball jig heads along with several 1ks Mister Twister jig tails as that was all you needed to catch all the fish you wanted These fly in lakes only saw a maximum of six fisherman a week from late may till late September and the owner of the resort company didn't allow any ice fishing so it was fishing like you literally dream about. My best trip I caught a 46" northern and a 36" walleye. 5lb walleye and 10lb northerns were common. Lots of whitefish also but much to my dismay I never knew how good eating white fish were until my last trip. Although not every day, It was common to catch a walleye on 1 of three casts. I find myself making a solid effort to watch as many of your videos as I can find. Best of luck and keep the great content coming.

Thank you for sharing. Very useful information.

Thanks for the video Nathan. Hang in there. Tight lines..

Very clean and informative video my man! Keep grinding, doing great work.....

I put red finger nail polish on lead jig heads it really works great

Absolutely on the type of jig head. I like the Reaction Tackle Tungsten heads.

Thanks for another great video.

Thanks! As a newbie, I was wondering what could help me in this mid-late fall.
