When he started with the Chad Shad and the Workhorse I knew the dude had some way cool stuff.

The Storm Arashi Swimmer and the Jackall Gantarel are really easy to get confidence in.

Thank ya BO (boo) for the vote of confidence. Still waiting for Mikey to come visit me at the shop :)

🔥🔥awesome video Mikey and your buddy has a super dope collection of swim baits 🤙🤙

Can’t beat the baitsanity baits for beginner glide. Explorer gen 2 rivals a deps 250 for half the price, the baitsanity antidote is an excellent open water/cover glide and look into the spro kgb Chad shad if your fish are tighter to cover and a little more aggressive.

Thanks for sharing Bo! That's an insane collection you've got 😍

Just watched this video tonight, tracked down Bo on fb and just made a killer deal with him on a new (very hard to get swimbait!) So stoked I stumbled across your page!

Awesome! Looking at like $10,000 worth of custom, high end swimbaits there!!!

I make Baits for a hobby. Specializing in extremely shallow running Crank baits just a little deeper than a one minus. I actually use wood called, basswood. LOL. Those baits you were looking at, are works of art. And very time consuming I’m sure. And I understand the cost of paying for one of those lures. .cool video!!!

Nice breakdown I need some open water wide glides bad.

Notice how he kept the lid of that one box from flopping all the way open, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why, lol.

As someone who started really focusing more on swimbaits about 14 months ago, here is a list of a few that I find are great baits (and Mikey, I live in FL so they work well here): start with a few from Mike Bucca. Learn how to throw them. Learn the different swims. Spend several months with these and find out what you like and don't like, and then branch out. I highly recommend the bull shad and bull gill and gill glide. Rats. Get a solid top water rat. Bucca makes one, but there are several custom rat makers that have excellent baits for ~$100. PB Rat and Pete Rodent's EC Rodent is what I use. For soft plastic swimbaits, I prefer Working Class Zero Citizens. Any color will work. I think you already met up and fished with Keith Wilson down South FL. He is the king of throwing Citizens and Battle Shads in FL and as you can see from his Instagram channel, he catches a TON of bass > 7 pounds using just those two baits in a year. They are a bit hard to find, but they can be used in and around grass, mats/pads here in FL and just about anywhere else on the water. As for your requested soft plastic shiner, I recently bought the Savage Gear 8" in Carp color that I think is going to be great. I'll keep you posted. Great video. You should pick up a few of these and then do a few videos just throwing nothing but swimbaits!

Got that Cali swag on his boat!🤙

Megabass vitalion are really cool, also the magdraft is a great soft swimbait

Love the local flavor. Cool video!

Right off St John’s in DeBary. Are these workable in River? I’ve fished lots of glide baits for Musky in WI and have reasonable skills but will these work on the River? Love the spots as you all are more into fishing for the relaxation, anticipation, and less pressure than the hardcore tournament types.

I'm glad he mentioned the fish lab bluegill glide.. That thing is money

Super cool baits, makes me wanna get sum

I enjoy fishing big swimbaits but in my area they're seasonal unless you want to go weeks without a strike. With that said I never go to the lake without my 8" Bull Shad just in case the wind and cloud cover align for a feed window on big gizzards.

Florida fisher here. Please explain glide style baits. Are these something we should be using in Florida? Thanks

Pretty baits! I dipped a toe in recently, got a 6" magdraft, 8" magdraft, and some savage gear glides. On my budget that will have to suffice for now. They look cool in the water, yet to catch anything green on them, but stripers eat that savage gear I can attest to that. Still looking for the right water to catch a bass on them.

Realprey makes a shiner boot tail..

Great video buddy

Chuckbaits victim Gill and trout are the best glides I’ve ever fished and I’ve fished deps, s waver, 3:16, KGB (also incredible), Klash, mattlures, etc etc

Leave everything else at home, sweet baits. Love the gill baits.

$100-$200 swim baits all thrown into a single box erks me. I’m such a nerd that I’d have each one in their own dedicated box. 😬

Awesome vid

Working on a glidebait right now. Already caught 4 smallies on it. Messing with the weights and testing the action, to replicate a slow floating, and a slow sink version. Never fished a glide bait before, but man is it fun!

Nice vid, I have a ton of those swimbaits

California swimbait. Yessir. Kevin Lee bgc baits are killer. If u can get one of his bait you won’t be disappointed.

Check out the G-Rat Sneaky Pete. Great price point, super reactive, available, works in current, runs a tick deeper than an s waver.

Cool baits 😎

Cool video!

Some of the best “learner, carefree kinda baits” (hard baits) that you can use with reckless abandon so to speak are the Spro BBZ, Savage Gear, Storm Arashi, 22nd Century Triple Trout, CL8 Bait, Livingston, branded baits. Baits you can obtain easily and inexpensively from Tackle Warehouse for instance. These baits make it easy to learn to throw without fear of loss because they’re easy to replace and don’t cost a fortune. And if you don’t know how to tie a GOOD knot, do so before buying your swimbaits! If you can’t cast a heavier bait without a birds nest, don’t learn with swimbaits! Castoffs are expensive preventable losses of swimbaits. Also get yourself a GOOD Swimbait retriever that you can use to get your baits that hang up on trees, branches, ledges, etc. They’re inexpensive protection from unpredictable losses, especially for deep water fishing. They make it easy to fish a Swimbait without worrying about hanging up and losing your bait. The best I’ve used and own is the Premier Machine 44 Mag Lure Retriever Plug Knocker. Do a Google search for a source.

There's a lot of glide and wedge tail baits that mimic shiners bro you just gotta look

Any tips or tricks to keep a bluegill or crappie style glide bait from helicoptering on the cast ? Love the baits but I’m struggling with getting a good cast with them

I've tried to find a Hinkle for like a year

You need to shake the Florida off and get with it Mikey!

That’s a small fortune right there

Mike I looking for property in Florida. One question, does Ocala suck ??🤷‍♂️

I used to collect Hot Wheel cars when I was a kid. Now I am 60 and collecting swimbaits!

And an assload of shiner glides out there lol

Love my GARUDA

Wake baits and crank down toxic baits rock

I'll show you mine, you show me yours.... hahahaha

Meet me at rainbow one day... then you can see how all those bait swim and how the bass love to eat/fallow.

Don’t knock the Big Game Custom!! It catches Bigguns!!👀💯💯

never ask a man how much any of his fishing tackle costs. he either has to lie or risk it with the misses lmao

How can I get custom swimbaits without getting them from the maker is there a buy and trade website?

Never fished a better glide bait or swim bait for that matter then Mike Stacy at Golden Belt Customs

You bass guys crack me up. Take a look inside a musky fishermans custom box.

He says he fishing them quite often but there’s no hook rash on them 🤔

The bent tails in the box is making my skin crawl

Dude Mikey, KZfaq is screwing you. I miss all your new posts because they don’t hit my feed. Yes I am subscribed and it’s ridiculous. Give Bog a head scratch for me. Keep doing you.

First to comment!, Mikey keep up the great content.

Great stuff. I can't see myself dropping $200+ on a swim bait, but they look amazing.

Workhorse is legit

Small collection

Bo, whats up man?

Now I have a bit of a tackle problem and all, but if I ever have baits that I pay high dollar for and don't fish, please punch me dead square in the nose..

Mikey I sent you a message on IG from my Faith Fishing account.

YA WANNA SEE SOME BIGGER RARE ONES?

bo former military?

But does he have a shizzard

Yeah find a Hinkle Shad today for $500 son. Try about a grand or better. $1000 all day

Swimbaits are better at catching fishermen than fish.

I hate this guy. he’s got phony frogs, bgc’s, etc. all the hard to get baits.
