- Let's head underwater and watch how bass react to some of our favorite baits! In today's underwater video we've Texas-Rigged some of the most popular creature baits on the market and are presenting them to largemouth and smallmouth bass. Do you ever wonder what your baits look like underwater? Have you wondered what movements get the most bites? Come underwater with us and find out!
We focused on 5 key creature baits. These baits have proven themselves over and over, all filling different niches in our fishing. Pay attention to the subtle details between them as you decide which might be the best for your fishing needs. A couple immediate standouts include Big Bite's ability to float vertically above the grass and the Keitech's incredible swim at slow speeds. If you look closely you'll notice subtle details in each offering.
Below is a breakdown of all the baits in the video. We included the terminal tackle used as well as rods and reels we recommend for this technique. The Texas Rig is an incredibly effective way to catch bass throughout the year and should be added to your arsenal if you're not already putting it to work.

My biggest takeaway is the MENTAL aspect of T-Rig fishing. Fish really examine and study the baits. I wonder how many fish I have yanked baits away from. Sounds obvious, but you need to assume that a fish is ALWAYS looking at your bait. Great analysis at end, Matt. 2 great lessons. Thank you.
me the whole video: SET THE DAMN HOOK
Same bro
Exactly what i was thinking
Newbie. What do you mean?
He is just trying to get footage he isn’t trying to catch them
He has said that in other vids
New rod just got delivered and a new Tactical Bassin video, today feels like fishmas
I know how ya feel! Brings out the kid in us.
That video totally reinforced my love for the baby brush hog. It looked like the fish were more aggressive towards that one bait. Cheap and awesome, can't go wrong.
show the hookset underwater bro!
I think that these fish are protecting their eggs so he don't want to disturb them so much
In slow mo
🏆🏆Nothing more basic than a Texas rig,this is awesome,thank you Matt and Tim 👊👊👍
The Flying Squirrel really impressed me. Those long tentacles that just stood up seemed to trigger those bites. Cool stuff, and now I have to have some tilapia colored baits
I have a worm squirell tail bait. The tail floats very well. They are are great on a shakey head.
Marshall Odham III what do you see as major difference between shaky head and these T rigs? I know obvious weight/hook configurations, but in terms of when you would use one over another? They seem quite interchangeable
@@yakangler419 the t rig has a hook and weight separate and gets more movement. Shakey head for me is better with cover and doesn't get tangled as much. We have a ton of hydrilla here. And the shakey head reacts more with smaller movements of rod tip.
@@yakangler419 what I mean by more t rig movement, is that when it is still, the currents carry the entire bait more and not just the tail and the hook can move more not being part of the weight.
Buoyancy of the bait is a factor too. A shakey head stays more upright and a lil longer upright with a heavy bait too.
The shaky version is a killer but sometimes you have to slow down and make sure they have it because some bass love to grab it by the tail and hold on to it.
the crazy flapper looks great underwater, I have to get some of those. What I was impressed with was the blue flake in the bait, it stands out in the water so much more then I realized, very cool.
Definitely need to try those
This is so helpful, appreciate the time and effort this must have taken. Your channel, and Tyler’sReelFishing have both helped me so much as I get into bass fishing.
The action on the Keitech stood out like crazy from the rest!
T rig has been a staple of mine growing up for years and some how got away from it. I’ll have one tied on shortly
So true. I told myself I'm going to always have one tied on this season. Just got caught up with all the faster moving baits. Especially a chatterbait and lipless. Those have been my go to recently.
Awesome video Matt! It shows how important it is to have braid and a sensitive rod. As shown in the video, some of those bites are so quick and so subtle, most people will never feel them. God bless!
Wow the difference is incredible. Thank you for your hard work
Awsome video Matt those baby brush hogs look good always been a staple of mine💯💯💯
Love the underwater videos. Those are my favorite ones. Would love to see a indepth video on the Megabass Magdraft and the Magslowl!
Years ago ( honestly decades at this point ) there was a creature bait I used to slay fish with. It had triangular shaped front "wings", the double paddles like a zoom brush hog but a single large curly tail instead of the double ribbon tails like the zoom. I loved it because the wings gave it more of a gliding fall with a light weight and the single tail thumped more than other creature bait tails.
That Keitech Crazy Flapper moves, that's why it has the name it does. Awesome video. I love these underwater videos. We get to see what our baits look like down under water. Thanks for taking the time to do this guys. We love the entire Tactical Bassin Family!!!! 👍🏻🎣🐟🇺🇸👌🏻💯
The flying Squirrel was unbelievable. Awesome video
Big bite fighting frog has always been my favorite creature bait
Zoom baby brush hog is the bee's knees. I love that bait.
Texas rig was my first confidence bait when I started fishing and I used to really slay em on it
And now the wacky worm has turned for you man
You guys are my favorite channel I have learned so much, thanks guys
Thanks you so much for this video!!! I fish a lot of techniques but t rigs are one of my weaknesses. This helped me understand how to fish them and how bass react to them. Thanks so much!!
Never clicked a notification so fast, gonna hit the water in a few hours! Thank you for everything matt!
And Tim
LOVE THE VIDEOS MATT AND TIM!! 🙏🎣👍👍
All of them looked great. I love the babybrush hog for smallmouth here in my local river. Great video 👍
Awesome footage. Just what everyone wants to see. I am curious about a few things. Are the hook points buried ? and How are you getting these shots?
The big bite flying squirrel is a new one for me and i like it. Stood right up each time.
Man bear pig has me impressed I think I found my new favorite Texas rig bait
Crazy flapper looks great. Strike king makes great creatures as well, has the same flappy action due to the rage tail.
I need to go fishing, was setting the hook sitting here in the chair lol.
Great vids. better than whats going on around the world right now.
Flying squirrel looked pretty good also tha keitec👌🏽
Amazing Matt! As always!!!! Best content on TH-cam!
Thats whats up! Thanks Matt and Tim! That crazy flapper is the bees knees.
That’s good to see. I always tend to wanna wait in the first bite I feel and make sure they have actually taken it. Never really kept track of my swing and miss ratio but I think I’m gonna start swinging quicker and see where that goes.
I love these underwater vid's...Great stuff.
This cool brother you are in zimbabwe now we love it
Great info! My "2 cents". I always fish un-pegged. My favorite soft plastic is the Gene Larew Hoodaddy/ dk watermellon candy.
4.0 Mustad wide gap. Have some fun out there. Right on with the hook sets.
In a few weeks we will go under water with the Texas rig....48hrs later boom! Thank you guys so much for the all of the videos. I'd love to see a behind the scenes video showing you guys top side as you make these underwater vids
did they all spit out the bait? i dont see any getting hooked! amazing video i love understanding the motion of the texas rig underwater
crazy flapper is crazy. will have to get some. just got some of the baby brush hogs the other week. will need to try them too!
Awesome underwater footage very nice. Loved it Great JOB guy's.
Texas rigs were my first confidence baits. The first bass I caught both smallie and largie came off a Berkely pitboss and a 1/4 oz pegged weight. Haven’t thrown a trig in a very long time. May have to get back to it
Alright, so, I live in Michigan. Spring warmth is right around the corner and I plan to use some softplastics. Local forage is bluegill, crayfish minnows just to name a few. Any colors of softplastics anyone would recommend to use this far up north. I have caught some pretty big bass on green pumpkin and watermelon red flake/watermelon candy colors.
Thanks!
I have the same food sources here in Missouri and those are the exact colors I use 8 out of 10 times. I do like black/blue colors as they seem to work well at times too. Swimbaits with a dark green back and chartreuse belly have scored me countless fish as well. Don't be afraid to experiment!
Thanks so much. I’m going to order some new plastics using those colors.
By the way, what are your top 10 favorite plastics. (Creatures/craws/trick worms
Fantastic Footage underwater.
I noticed that Bass sometimes spit out the baits. I learned a long time ago, to Set the Hook QUICKLY.
Thanks for your Tips & Evaluations.
Yeah, it seems like everyone says to wait a second so the fish can turn away after the strike but this seemed to show with inactive fish, you do need to set quick.

Thanks for your Opinion & Perspective.

Good Luck Fishing fellow Angler.
Idea for a video: The series of prespawn vids including baits, technique, underwater, and locations have been awesome. I would like to see an application of all the videos in the past few weeks. It would be educational to see the "approach" Matt and Tim take out on the water going to a variety of locations with search and finesse baits, to watch them talk through and nail down a pattern. Also, with 2 fishermen, what is Matt using while Tim is throwing a particular bait. When you go out, what baits do you have initially rigged on your rods?
The new Chasebait Flip Flop is amazing. The side fins drive them crazy.
Keiteck,,,, crazy Flapper bye far looks the best... AWESOME FOOTAGE guy's thk you so much for evverything you two teach us...
Awesome footage guys, as always. Watching the behavior of bass uo close never gets old!
Amazing footage guys! Really enjoyed watching!👍👍👍
Just caught my Fish of a lifetime 11.4 on a t rig since your last video.... thanks TB!
Awesome footage love the zoom baby brush hog been a friend of mine for a long time. But i am impressed with the crazy flapper
Great camera work.
I need to start fishing that crazy flapper. My favorite creature is still a lizard. Great video!
Zoom Baby Brush Hog good reaction. Swallowed in the first move.
That bait has always been close to my hart because that bait caches everything especially with red JJ’s on the Carly tail my Frind caught a 7 pounder on that
Beside a top water fishing a Texas rig is my favorite way to fish. Over the winter I've been dragging(dead sticking) most of the time but tend to give the small hopping technique when the water warms up. I'm stoked to see that presentation trigger strikes, in addition to the different baits.
I love that Crazy Flapper. And, NOBODY talks about it.
Fantastic vid.
Definitely might have to try out that Crazy Flapper. Great movement on the fall. Did y’all feel those bites and not set the hook on purpose or did they just spit it out that quick?
4:07 he hopped that right into his mouth. That was sweet.
Crazy flapper and the flying squirrel looks great
interesting to see that the fish let go of the bait when the Tungsten weight slide down and hit their mouth.
the Zoom ultra vibe speed craw is a great soft plastic for a Texas rig
Awesome. Just outstanding. Good work you guys. One if those fish looked huge. 8 pounder or more.
I've been watching you guys for about 2 months now and you both are phenomenal! All your info has been so useful to me and has definitely made me a better fisherman. Just caught a few earlier on the big brush hog but I can't wait to use that crazy flapper
I have tried a few of these baits but didn’t know how much pegging can affect individual baits thanks so much for all these awesome videos!
Great video yet again! Are these fish sitting on beds or just on structure?
Nice job Matt
I been using flying squirrel and crazy flapper for 2 years now and both are my favorite with great actions and awesome catching results.
A Texas rig is my go to, that's how I learned to catch bass. I've recently started to branch out to a ton of different options, but when things aren't working my confidence is high with the T rig
Wow what Spectacular underwater footage. Prob my favorite go to is the Texas rig. I’ve thrown lots of these. Like to check out the others thanks.
Big fun. That largemouth ate everything! The smallmouth hit to kill. Surprised at the small brushhog. Carolina rigged it at Kentucky Lake. Also used it to flip bushes.
Can you guys do underwater footage of hard hook sets??
That Tacticalbassin Aftco gear is dope!!! Thanks guys
凄い上手く撮れてる！
Hey guys Matt Allen here welcome back to tactical Bassin
I thought they would hold the keitech longer than that (because of the smell). But they do seem to keep it in their mouth just a tad longer than the other baits. That floating squirrell bait is super effective too.
Amazing video very informative THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your hard work
I’ve always liked the the baby brush hog
Pumpkin green chigger craw. I always fished it with 1/8 ounce lead in a 4/0wide gap. It’s always lights out for the bass at this time of the year. On spinning gear
I’ve NEVER had any luck on the baby brush hog!!!! But it did look great under water
Some of the coolest footage out there!
Awesome tips on when to set the hook!! Like always spot on!!!!!
It's always funny how when I'm watching videos from you guys or some of the other TH-cam channels many of you guys talk about, when the bite is slow, try finesse fishing a Texas Rig. I throw other stuff from time to time, but if I'm flat out fishing to catch fish, T-Rig is my go to. Especially now with all these fun new creature baits we've been getting.
As a kid growing up I used baby brush hogs like crazy , was by far my favorite bait . Recently I bought two packs of manbearpigs , first fish I caught was a 3.48lbs on one . They work very well , I prefer them over the brush hogs. I’m defiantly going to pick up a few Keitech Crazy Flappers they look awesome . Great video as always 👍
I love watching videos of bass eating baits
Nice video guys
Crazy flapper and the baby crush hog we’re money!! That Keitech is unreal!
V&M J-Bug has always worked great for me!
Such a great quality video👊
Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing 🎣
They seemed to commit to the baby brush hog the least. It seemed like they swiped at it more than any other. Still amazing to see how and why some are hooked weird or missed in general
The keitech was pretty good. But I think I'm in on the flying squirrel By big baits. Thos two floating ends in the back of the squirrel have the best secondary reaction for me. I catch most bigger bass on lures like this.
Never used the crazy flapper but definitely a great looking bait. I love using the man bear pig.
Crazy Flapper has been absolutely killer for me up in Canada. In the 3.6” size for me though
Loved it! Thanks Matt 👍

Yes i love these videos
Awesome heading out later to try these out
When is the best time of year to throw a lipless bait? I ordered 4 of the LV 500 and by far are the best I have ever used.🐟
