In this video I show you the only way to fish a swimbait during fall, winter and spring with my friend. A finesse swimbait setup I have used to catch all types of bass in cold clear water.

Such a SIK dog and awesome dude! Great to see people treating their dog friends with respect. Nice Job Balzz! Learning alot from your vids homie. KEEP KILLIN IT BROTHER!🤘🏻

A small 3”-4” swimbait is my confidence bait at times- I believe it’ll catch anything(species) you’re targeting. It’s my backup bait when cranking rip-rap also. I’ve caught some nice sized Bass going back over water that I’ve cranked through. Bogicorn is awesome 😎

Great technique man! We do this up north early spring and fall to ice up. Works really well for big northern smallmouth. Toss out let it fall to bottom and creeeeep it along. Pop it every once in awhile. Just took a trip to mille lacs and crushed em like this for a week. Then my home state of Mi we do the same thing in all the northern mi lakes.

Dude, it looks really cold there ... lol😎. It was 81 deg when I hit Headwaters this afternoon ... a swimbait w/underpin it always the first bait I throw. Your technique works great for coming over the top of submerged hydrilla and then killing it just as it clears an edge and drops into deeper water

Been using a medium light 7'4" Phenix M1 baitcasting setup for the small Kietechs. 10lb flouro and 3/16 to 5/16 heads. I have a lot more control on the casting setup than with spinning and good feel. 3/8 works fine as well but I usually go up a MH M1.

I've gone down to Lake Fork Tackle's Baby Boot Tail Shad (magic shad) and the new Bobby Garland Slab Hunt'R Finesse Baitfish (live minnow, threadfin shad) for the ultimate in finesse swimbait fishing. I put them on a Brewer ³/¹⁶oz ball head, w/a single strand of 50lb fluoro weedguard, custom eyes, paint, and a single, thin wire keeper-NO lead barb. Fished on ML spinning gear (Megabass Destroyer Windbuster, Shimano Vanford 2000), 12lb Gliss to 7lb FC Sniper completes my ultimate finesse swimbait rig. Give 'em a try.

100% it’s some thing I do all winter I will actually threw a 3/8 down to 40 foot or so but we’re talking inchng the bait super slow. Even that one quarter ounce I will use over 30 or so feet if I’m trying to go over really deep wood or the fish are suspended
