*Had cancer 👍 Will discuss it at length in a video next week to help other anglers know what to look for, but we found skin cancer on my face about 6 weeks ago and am now cancer free.
Anyone who thinks thier are hundreds of youtubers with the same level of knowledge as tactical especially Matt is a little bit out of touch with reality in my opinion. Not saying thier aren't a handful of other quality teaching channels for fishing but hundreds of other channels with same level of content or hundreds of people with Matt's level of experience and accomplishments seems a little bit crazy to me. But I guess like anything this can be argued depending on ur opinions.
Matt you guys over the last year have lit a fire in me to really commit to these bigger baits. All my buddies think I’m nuts when I show them a Baitsanity Explorer glide or a 8 inch hudd. It’s a whole different outlook on fishing and I love it. I’m in upstate ny near the Adirondacks not too far from Champlain. There are so many great fisheries around me and I’ll be dedication the majority of 2021 to big baits and big upstate NY Bass!
Would you guys be able to do some videos on the optimal times to go fishing for each season? You guys are awesome! I love all of your videos. They've been a big help. Thank you. 😎👍
I used a strike king swimbait 5.75 and I used the slow retrieved motion and I caught a 2lb 89ounces I love learning from this channel best teacher ever
This is THE BEST channel for advice,tips and just bass info in general, you guys are great,thanks for the years of info Matt and Tim,good luck to you all and my fellow fishermen our there, hope you guys catch your P.B in 2021! From Missouri
My man Matt knows is stuff! Pretty cool to know he is in my area now! My man is a genius in the fishing world! Been subscribed to this channel since Ive gotten the bass bug which has been a long time! Winter is by far my favorite time to fish! Just wait him and Matt are about to kill it this winter!
Best wishes for the recovery - new discussions indoors and stories are fine with me. Rolling with it brings new inspiration and I'm looking forward what you'll come up with.
Get well Matt!!! Looking forward to your next winter fishing videos. Here in southern NY, with iced over lakes, and snow, the chances are few and far in between for bank fishermen. So your videos are a great alternative!
Thank you for these videos I’m always watching them early mornings for good tips before I head out. You guys helped me a lot in becoming a better fisherman!
Heading to Tennessee in a few days... I’m hoping to throw a Trash Fish and possibly an Swaver if the conditions are right. Thanks for the video Matt! Heal up soon so you can show us all how it’s done 😂🎣
What makes you prefer the ROF5 hud? I bought one and it takes forrreeever to hit bottom. It seems like a faster ROF would help you keep bottom contact?
I've always preferred an ROF 12 for the jig hook. Now that the ROF 5 is offered in a jighook version (that's new) the slow sink rate forces you to go the right speed to maintain bottom contact.
Good day Matt and Tim. I have a question about leader lines. I use braid on my reels. But how do I match the leader to the braid I use? And what knot is good to use when adding a leader?
You guys should try the Real Fish Glider 10" trout. I have it in stocker trout color and it's amazing. At first I wasn't sure about the action but then fell in love with it. It has a cool roll to it. It needs upgraded hardware but is unreal for only $35
My question is my lake has a mud bottom and slow rolling a Huddleston just gets it stuck in the mud at the bottom. Should I speed up the retrieval? What should i do?
What’s the best weight for the 10/O beast hook on the 8” trash fish? All that’s available is a 1/2 oz but that seems heavy. I’d think a 1/4 would probably work best.
If you don’t want the power handle but still want the 7.1:1 or whatever it is, there’s always somebody on the swimbait pages that’s got the reg paddle handle they’d sell or trade
Hey my name is Denny I’m in high school and love to fish and I’m looking to add on to my boat and I am considering a ultrex or dual power poles and I am wandering which is more practical to have!
I’ll chime in Denny. Both are obviously great to have, but I would get the Ultrex first. I primarily use the poles during the spawn, when I’m bed fishing. They have other uses, such as helping launch and load, but I constantly use spot lock when methodically fishing points and structure, particularly in windy conditions. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.
I remember you guys saying that the trash fish is able to work in cold water, I fished one yesterday and it seems if I have to reel it faster than you have explained to get any tail kick. Is it enough for it to be bumping across bottom and the tail occasionally shimmying?
As an update I took the time to really look at the bait as I was barely grinding it across bottom and it absolutely does have a great action. I actually got tagged pretty good (probably a small fish but it got the heart thumping) after a slight pause when I began a 1 minute handle turn.
You say the fish aren't hard to find but for someone relatively new to targeting big bass it's still a lot easier to have confidence in how to fish these baits than where to use them.
Question!! poison adrena 7'3 mh or 7'5 megabass orochi braillist for a jig rod?? Is the adrena reg.fast action similar to a softer mod-fast tip or are they stiff? I personally prefer a softer tip. Also how do they compare in sensitivity
Have you had a chance to play with the new curado 300 k? I'm thinking of getting one for my swimbait setup but am torn between the curado 300 and the tranx 300
Can you make your Tactical DD crank in a 50 or 55 that dives 0 to 9 feet. I fish alot of ponds in my area and that would be an awesome addition to the line.
Hey, how do you guys feel about the Daiwa Lexa 300HD or 400HD for big swimbaits or glide baits compared to the Shimano Tranx in both sizes? I picked up a lexa300HD a while back and was just wondering if you guys have any opinions on it?
Just now really getting into the huddleston swimbait game, but my fisheries are primarily Spotted bass, not largemouth. Am I better off running with a 6" huddleston or is 8" doable? NorCal spots aren't picky, but it is nice to be somewhat dialed.
i’ve got a bunch of bigger swimbaits on order from TW, should be here next week. but I do have a question about reels. what do you think about the tatula 300? or even the 200? i’m looking for another reel, and i’m just not sure what to get. I currently use a tatula 150 and lew’s super duty 300. also... how do you feel about the baitsanity antidote glide? I feel like for my body of water the explorer is too big.
U know its cold when Matt in the truck 😂😂
@jay parks he's got cancer?

@@tacticalbassin congrats !!
@@cheezuscrust7730 it’s overcast he’s inside because it’s windy
@@tacticalbassin Good News, glad you’re cancer free!!!
With the amount of large fish Matt has caught, his advice is spot on. I only watch TaticalBassin.
Ridiculous they don't have more followers on youtube.

I bet he’s still wearing sandals in this cold 😂 all love
@Matt Otis I’m in Northern California kinda near Clearlake and I can definitely say that sandal weather has passed
Beards make you a tough badass
that is a true once in a lifetime epic striper!!!
Matt heal up soon! Hopefully everything went well! Can’t wait to see you and Tim on the water!

Thanks for your hard work and dedication to make these great videos. I have learned so much for you guys. Get well soon, Matt! Happy New Year!
@@japanesebassman7907 Weird reply. Any reason for it?
I strictly fish for bass ( Southern California… highly pressured Spring-Fall ) from November to March and I approve of this message 🏄🏼♂️🎣
Would you guys be able to do some videos on the optimal times to go fishing for each season? You guys are awesome! I love all of your videos. They've been a big help. Thank you. 😎👍
No more missing big fish ,I will be setting every time I feel the tick . Ty Matt for expert advice .
Get well Tim, can’t wait for Matt’s Finesse vid!
I used a strike king swimbait 5.75 and I used the slow retrieved motion and I caught a 2lb 89ounces I love learning from this channel best teacher ever
Don't even own a swimbait but feel like I'm fishing one when you explain how. Thanks master educator.
Hell yea, been waiting for this vid lol 🔥🔥🔥
After you heal up Matt, could you do a updated version of the how to cast swimbaits video you did a long time ago?
Love the Scottsboro baits!! Made right here in my home town of Scottsboro, AL! Scottsboro Tackle Co is the best!
This is THE BEST channel for advice,tips and just bass info in general, you guys are great,thanks for the years of info Matt and Tim,good luck to you all and my fellow fishermen our there, hope you guys catch your P.B in 2021! From Missouri

You guys are going to help get the elusive 8 pounder this year. Thank you so much for the endless knowledge.
Just made my Monday morning ride to work so much better! You guys are awesome keep it up! 🎣
Best wishes for the recovery - new discussions indoors and stories are fine with me. Rolling with it brings new inspiration and I'm looking forward what you'll come up with.

I could listen to you all day long, Matt! 👊🏽
Every video is a buyers guide! Just not for Christmas time.! Great videos!
Thank you Matt. Always appreciate swimbait info. It's rare to get quality SB info.
My fav time of the year big swimbait season reviews thanks TB and I ain't talking bout Tom Brady but tacticalbassin is just as good as him lol
This is exactly what I needed
Get well Matt!!! Looking forward to your next winter fishing videos. Here in southern NY, with iced over lakes, and snow, the chances are few and far in between for bank fishermen. So your videos are a great alternative!

Matt in his absolute habitat! Thank you TB. ❤
Been waiting for this! Thanks guys
Just clicked on the video and before watching it I’m just gona ahead and thank y’all for this video cuz I know it’ll be sick! 🔥🔥🔥
Let’s go Matt, give me confidence in this lure. Used it last Saturday at Lanier, it looked good. Fine tune this thing for me Matt.👍🏿
First! haha! Love swimbaiting bass in the winter! Now to watch!
Matt get well and looking forward to see you fishing again soon.

Great videos man! God is good! God bless! Prayin for y’all!
Going to give the big soft baits a try just like this and see how it goes. Can’t wait! Good videos, Matt! I’ve learned a lot from this channel
I needed to hear this. Hopefully I get a giant before 2020 ends!
Good info. as usual. Heal up and look forward to seeing you back on the water. 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
New England got a year round wake bait bite too
I've been doing great with soft plastic swimbaits there just cabelas go to swimbaits but I've been doing so great on those in ponds
Thanks for all your good information and tips
Great info. Matt. Heal up, and hope to see you guys back on the water Soon.
Glad you’re healing up Matt! Great winter SB crawling vid! Hope you and family had blessed Christmas!!
Heading to Tennessee in a few days... I’m hoping to throw a Trash Fish and possibly an Swaver if the conditions are right. Thanks for the video Matt! Heal up soon so you can show us all how it’s done 😂🎣
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your families! Also praying for a speedy recovery! Thanks for the awsome content that never gets old!
Awesome video, Matt!! Looking forward to seeing you guys on the water throwing those big baits!! It’s ice fishing time in MA now.
Heal up soon Matt. Happy holidays to you, Tim and both of your families. Thank you for all you do.
Happy New Year guys! Matt, take care of yourself and have a speedy recovery!
Get well soon my friend, hope all is well, happy early NEW YEAR !!!
I love your videos! You guys have taught me so much its incredible!! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!
Great video, I got a swimbait combo for Christmas and I’m itching to try it out
I just purchased a gizzard shad 68 special. I am more than excited to get out and use it this spring. I hope to catch some hogs!
When do you choose a glide bait or multi joint hard bait?
Very well put! Thank you 🤙TB!
Great info Matt! Thank you
Another great video as always! I never knew bass would eat a trash fish! So I'm guessing they eat small carp as well!??
Outstanding! Thanks fellas this was the video we all needed!
Hope you’re doing well Matt, happy new year to you guys!
Thanks for all your info and what size line your using to catch those Big Fish.
Matt, have a speedy recovery.

Hope to see some swimbait footage on ur new home lake
Good day Matt and Tim. I have a question about leader lines. I use braid on my reels. But how do I match the leader to the braid I use? And what knot is good to use when adding a leader?
You guys should try the Real Fish Glider 10" trout. I have it in stocker trout color and it's amazing. At first I wasn't sure about the action but then fell in love with it. It has a cool roll to it. It needs upgraded hardware but is unreal for only $35

Great vid Thankyou

Do you use the Tranx for glide baits, or just creeping bottom? I’m concerned the power handle won’t feel right with a faster moving bait.
I LOVE IT for glides.
If you don’t want the power handle but still want the 7.1:1 or whatever it is, there’s always somebody on the swimbait pages that’s got the reg paddle handle they’d sell or trade
Hey my name is Denny I’m in high school and love to fish and I’m looking to add on to my boat and I am considering a ultrex or dual power poles and I am wandering which is more practical to have!
?^

Good luck to you.
I would say the get the Ultrex. I use it a lot more than my Talons. Talons have their time and place but you use a trolling motor every outing 👍
Spring isn’t far away if you just say, “weeks.”
I remember you guys saying that the trash fish is able to work in cold water, I fished one yesterday and it seems if I have to reel it faster than you have explained to get any tail kick. Is it enough for it to be bumping across bottom and the tail occasionally shimmying?
I should add that my water isn’t low 40’s yet as I’m in southern Texas.
Yes, the tail barely sashaying and bumping into things is all the movement you need. You do not need the thumping action you would expect.
As an update I took the time to really look at the bait as I was barely grinding it across bottom and it absolutely does have a great action. I actually got tagged pretty good (probably a small fish but it got the heart thumping) after a slight pause when I began a 1 minute handle turn.
You guys should do what baits to throw in all types of rain like light rain to heavy rain. And while its winter
The fish don't know it's raining they're wet all the time lol
Do you use the Palomar on the 35 pound fluoro?
You say the fish aren't hard to find but for someone relatively new to targeting big bass it's still a lot easier to have confidence in how to fish these baits than where to use them.
Question!! poison adrena 7'3 mh or 7'5 megabass orochi braillist for a jig rod?? Is the adrena reg.fast action similar to a softer mod-fast tip or are they stiff? I personally prefer a softer tip. Also how do they compare in sensitivity
How long should leader be?
Have you had a chance to play with the new curado 300 k? I'm thinking of getting one for my swimbait setup but am torn between the curado 300 and the tranx 300
Is it differnt swimbait fishing for spotted bass
Can you make your Tactical DD crank in a 50 or 55 that dives 0 to 9 feet. I fish alot of ponds in my area and that would be an awesome addition to the line.
Amen Bro !
An entire line of Tacticals, including a Jerkbait and a Squarebill would be Awesome !!!
Robert Bently George
Will a rage spinner on a belly blade work?
Maybe a noob question cuz I know you have a fluoro leader but does the braid color ever make a difference when using a leader?
Are you letting the glide bait sink? Or is it just cast retrieve?
Do you like the deps slide swimmer 115
Would you suggest these baits for smallmouth on lake Cumberland or should I just stick with the smaller baits?
Hey, how do you guys feel about the Daiwa Lexa 300HD or 400HD for big swimbaits or glide baits compared to the Shimano Tranx in both sizes? I picked up a lexa300HD a while back and was just wondering if you guys have any opinions on it?
Matt, what kind of water clarity do you need for this technique? Does it need to be gin clear or will it work in lower visibility?
Just now really getting into the huddleston swimbait game, but my fisheries are primarily Spotted bass, not largemouth. Am I better off running with a 6" huddleston or is 8" doable? NorCal spots aren't picky, but it is nice to be somewhat dialed.
best paddletails for soft tails?
Oh I’ve just got an extra tranx sitting here 😂🤣😂
What are some swimbaits that you can target smallies with
What about up north where it is freezing cold
i’ve got a bunch of bigger swimbaits on order from TW, should be here next week. but I do have a question about reels. what do you think about the tatula 300? or even the 200? i’m looking for another reel, and i’m just not sure what to get. I currently use a tatula 150 and lew’s super duty 300.
also... how do you feel about the baitsanity antidote glide? I feel like for my body of water the explorer is too big.
Hey Matt. Do you prefer the 806 in a long handle?
I do not prefer the long handle. The standard is much better IMO.
@@tacticalbassin Awesome. Thank you sir.
