Post Spawn Swimbait Tricks!! (How To Target Big Bass Into Summer)

You still have time to catch a MONSTER Bass before Summer! Don't give up now!! Here's everything you need to know to catch bass with Swimbaits as we head into the prespawn and Early Summer. Whether your fish eat Shad, Trout, Shiners, or bluegill, you can still target big bass with Swimbaits and we're going to show you exactly how to do it!
Swimbait fishing isn't complicated. Most of the difficulties anglers face are in their heads. Once you've got the basics of which baits to throw, the rest comes naturally. However, Matt has very specific baits he focuses on depending on where he's fishing. Today he's sharing all his hard earned tricks of how to get these post spawn bass to bite.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt Discussed in the video. He's included his favorite sizes, colors, and any additional information you need to be successful. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

I have been watching the TacticalBassin videos for awhile now and I love the content. However, after this video I just gained even more respect for you guys! You nailed your soapbox rant as I felt like I was listing to a recording of myself... Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the wake bait heads up. Watched this video first thing this morning and went out on my home Lake and caught my first wake bait that I made myself last fall. And this was following catching two fish a couple evenings earlier on a walking popper I made last year. Super excited to finally get the reward/confermation that I've been doing something rite with my new pastime of baitmaking. Still working on that big glidebait fish, with my first blowup coming about a week ago on a eight inch wide glider i made early this year. Started following your channel about the same time and have really come to appreciate your gift of sharing so freely all your experience and knowlege of how to catch fish on a more consistent basis. Your glide bait videos have really given me a real confidence that I will catch my new pb. I had a big goal of double digit fish in mind when I started my journey down this big bait rabbit hole like someone/ Mat likes to say from time to time. Thanks again Chip the Fishing Fool Jr.

Your West Coast/SoCal saltwater angler viewers will understand your braid/flouro/mono gospel better than others, especially if they are good/better anglers. In catching the tunas in Eastern Pacific/Baja waters, we use a lot of braid backing with mono and flouro (as well as wire for wahoo) leaders. Different American brands' mono will differ in diameter more widely. And knowing what brand, type and qualities of line you are using is more important for accurate line setups, as well as for what hardware (crimping sleeves/chafing springs/crimping tools) is used, and is compatible with the line you wish to use. Also, a lot of coastal saltwater bass fisherman on the West Coast can not only use your new screw jig head for ocean use (as well as for freshwater use), but a lot of their saltwater rod and reel setups are perfect and adaptable for throwing all these swimbaits within this video, without having to go to the added expense of buying more freshwater rods and reels. Really, I've found the transition to becoming a better freshwater bass fisherman easier after spending a significant amount of time fishing saltwater bass, on the coastal Pacific Ocean. And honestly, there is not much of a difference in a lot of ways, between the two types of fishing.

@richardbossman9875 Ай бұрын

I had a recent experience that I will say supports Matt’s advice on going up in size with braid. I was using 40 or 50 lb braid straight to a 168 size S-waver and got a backlash during a cast, when the line stopped going out and that bait hit the end it snapped that line like nothing. I tie very consistent knots and this was not in any way knocked up but all it took was that sudden shock and the line broke. Go with the bigger line, the bait will take their attention away from it anyways and you will have a much better chance of landing them on 65 or 80. If I were throwing truly heavy/large baits I might even go to 100 lb test Maxcuatro just to be safe.

@@BSmith-qt7ev i use the blood knot, for braid to leader (just like matt and tim) 65lb or 80lb x9 braid to 20lb-30ln mono leader (use a palomar knot to a spro clip). the key for me is to keep the leader short enough to stay out of the reel. my main 2 setups are both dobyns rods, fury 806 with a curado 200 for most glides up to 7", and a dobyns bullshad 835sb with a curado 300 for glide over 8" and the 10" magdraft. both have normal guides (micro guides aren't going to work).. I haven't had a problem fishing rodman or lake rousseau down here in florida and both are loaded with timber. I also fish braid to leader on 50% of all of my normal setups, and the rest is 100% braid. don't fish any fluoro on anything (i'm over 10 bass btw 8-10lbs this year already, i got them up on my channel)

It's been an extremely good all around rod for hard & soft baits! It's sweet spot is around 4 oz but it will throw 6-7oz baits without issues & can throw a 6" magdrafts as well. I through 6" baits on smaller rod most of time keep the tatula for bigger baits. I highly recommend that rod though! I have a medium gear ratio lexa 300 paired with it & I throw all my baits on 20lb floro. I will have to give your 80lb braid & shock leaders a try though.

Another amazing video as always! I personally like when you get on your soapbox because every time you do, you drop some knowledge and I always learn a ton! I’m still a little hesitant to make that jump to braid because most of my swimbaits and wakes are customs that you can only get if you’re fast enough when they drop (sometimes they sell out in less than a minute). I’m worried that if I do snap one off on a cast that I won’t be able to get another one. I’m going to give the braid to leader a try on some of my cheaper more mass produced big baits until I can build some confidence in it, then I can switch to my expensive custom baits. Right now I’m using either 20 pound fluoro or co-poly depending on the bait.
