One of the biggest reasons guys struggle to fish a swimbait is because they start by throwing big swimbaits that get very little bites in the first part. You should really fish a swimbait that gets a lot of bites in order to gain confidence in it before stepping up in size.
Another thing that
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

Does the Deep Dive map function reflect the current level of the lake? New Melones is down 165’ from full (so far), and the apps and I have seen show it when full. I could use a highlighter on contour lines, but it’s a lot of extra work.
I'm transitioning from watching tactical bassin to your channel love the videos.
Just caught my first glide bait fish this past weekend. Was certainly an exciting catch. I like fishing the soft swim baits. Done nicely with them.
Solid informative video Tyler. Well presented and to the point. You’re a good teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience. Continued success to you & your family. I especially appreciate this video b/c I’m new to larger swim-baits and glides.
Of all the techniques 5"+ swimbaits is something I struggle with , several years ago I was throwing 4.8 keitechs and was catching them pretty good, not sure why but can't seem to catch a bass on one now, in the last several years I've caught more non target species on them , catfish, gaspergou and even a walleye
I throw the Magdraft and 4.8 Kytec on 7ft carbon fiber spinning rod from Ugly Stik med/fast $40.00 and a $40.00 reel with 15lb power pro!! It's a blast with being able to spinning gear on some of those "starter swimbaits" especially if your on a budget.
Just go straight to the 8" magdraft. I live in nh and fish mostly small ponds and lakes. The 8" is intimidating at first but it out fishes the 6" all day.
Bill Dance had a show not to long ago bout adding a 4 single size hook where a treble factory hook was to help with skipping & weedless. It has been a lethal 8" shad lure I use many times now when fishing weed, limb & lay down, docks & lilly areas. I watch your feed every chance I get, & use all your tips & tricks. Thanks
Definitely the easiest, most instructive swimbait videos I’ve seen.
Great video and even better information. The best part is you explain it so people
don't have to go out and buy 500-1,000 dollar dedicated setups. Simplicity is best.
Nice job, Ty! I am very impressed with those tips. I am trying it out because you gave me confidence with this presentation.
This is another bait I really want to make an effort to throw more ( so many baits , so little time) great video as always
Just in time, Just what i am waiting for ! By the way, every show you make is made for me. Many Many Thanks for that. Fishing the lower Potomac first time on the weekend, Perfect timing !!!
Excellent video Tyler really enjoyed it! Awesome info man Thank You!
Oooooo... Johnny's deepdive ?! Hell yeah.
big bass bites, 5 inch hook threw the bait is my favorite swim bait
i had 3 bites and caught two 3 pounders on an 8 inch glide yesterday. even though the fish weren't big it was the 1st time all my bites came exactly when i was expecting to get bit. definitely a huge boost of confidence.
Great video Tyler. I am going to start using the swimbaits more this year. Could you do a video on how to rig the boot tail using a coffee stir? God Bless.
I’d like to see that video also please.
Great tips and tricks. I'm one of those looking for that bigger swim bait bite
I need to do more swimbait fishing, my comfort zone is that lipless crank and skirted jigs
Agreed, idk why all these guys through 6" magdrafts or swimbaits on 20lb. I've been fishing magdrafts for couple years now & I use 14lb floro & it has really good action & I don't break them off
As usual an excellent informative video
Awesome explanation and those stinger hooks do work well. Never noticed witch one was hooking what but ill pay more attention to it next catch.
I have fished with the magdraft but with no luck. I also fish where there is alot of wood.
Phenomenally impactful video. Thank you so much!
#5 Guilty and end up with the same result. Need to try this,great video.
Can you give a tutorial on how you tie that stinger hook?
Great video .... Got me pumped to go out and try some swimbaits!
Have you done a video on the bigger swim baits and glide baits? Great video by the way thank you for the tips
Great vid. In intrigued with the larger swim/glide baits, but not enough to invest in a new combo. Think the mag draft fits the bill for me. Thanks!
If you fish around alot of grass or hard cover get the Magdraft freestyle!! 8/0 Owner Beast hook and Beast flashy swimmer.
Great break down
I make my own baits. I have a 5.6” prey bait I’m going to start making. I know you said clear water is best, slightly stained is ok. Here near lake Houston, we have dirty water. 6” or less visibility in a lot of areas. Would a black swimbait work in this area? Night time?
Great info, Ty!! Thanks!
Good video. I fish a lot of kite tech. I like to see how you rig it
I’ve caught some of my best smallies using a big keitech at night.
What reel were you using again?
Love me some swim baits! Good stuff!
Got 'em!
Great stuff man
Would a 6.8 ratio work? I don't have anything lower than that.
OH...if you can send me a cap, better send me one for my 9yr old grandson, he even has his own matching fishing jersey to match mine. Boat been busted, apparently when someone sales you a $18K bass boat thats supposedly lake & tourn ready. Means just the opposite, havent been able to fish out of it since purchased in Aug. 2021.. so every dime I get extra cheddar it goes into parts & repairs. Which I also found when you pay a big, fancy boat repair shop $3k to try make it stay running with new fuel pump, doesnt mean they know what they're doin & it'll run when told its ready to pick up. Thank you & I need to do a video on what to check & look for when buyin a boat, & how to check which marine shops to trust with your high dollar investment?🤨 I didnt know any of this, Im old school; was taught everything was built on trust of a man word & handshake. Apparently not nowdays..so no cheddar for gear or repairs, which luckly my dad taught me at early age to be my own mechanic. Except none of it was marine topics..😳
This is a whole nother topic but what spinning rod and reel do you prefer for skipping docks?
Sup. Great video. I got hooked on the baby bucca swimbait, I have 2 megabass swimbait with built in treble hook and a lunkerhunt that has the straw and trebble hook just havnt tried them, yet. Will make the adjustments you showed and give it a try. My 2022 goal is to use some of the baits I havnt tried! So perfect timing. Ty for the tips while I have time to make the adjustments. Unfortunately my slowest reel is 7:1, I use with the bucca but slowly. Do they also work good on a spinning combo 6'6"?
Hi! Thanks for the vid! Can i use my kvd rod xheavy for the 6 inch magdraft?
Try the beast coast Miyagi!
Bro please come venture las vegas ponds I promise itll be a challenge
Me sitting here with my 8:2:1 shimano 😬 I noticed how much slower I had to reel in these baits because of my gear ratio. It was much easier with my 5:6:1 spinning reel
Great video. Do you fish the freestyle? I haven't had as much luck with it. Any tips? Unrelated: I fished the Gilly today and found the nose hook takes longer to sink and has to fish slow to stay upright. The 5/O screwlock hook thru that bottom groove was awesome. It gets down faster and fishes upright really well. I let it sink reeled a bit and let it dive, reeled and let it dive. I got a nice bite, set the hook and didn't have drag set, swung over my shoulder and hit a tree. I lost the fish but gained confidence in that hook set up and start stop retrieve. I had to stop when my guides started icing up which causes a handful of awful outcomes. Is there anything worse than swinging on a fish with no drag? I hate myself!! Great tips on Gilly set ups. Just wanted to say thanks. A nail weight will improve that nose hook. Thoughts on freestyle appreciated. Great channel bud!!!
What do I gotta do to get me one of them caps? Need one to add to my fishing cap collection, I actually wear all my caps at events theyre made for..🤠
I really love fishing but have a lot of trouble with bass. I mostly fish for cats and have good luck. I'm on the verge of just saying "screw it" and giving up on bass.
I'm jumping in next season on the 6" magdraft. I see it weighs 1 and 1/4 ounces, and it is tough finding a MH that reaches that 1 and 1/4 weight. I find more times than not that a rod struggles to achieve the "listed" upper range for lure weight. I noticed during the video the black rod with blue trim and followed up on it. I'm not sure but seems it is an Okuma TCS "a" series rod of theirs. The one that is listed for swimbait/frog is a 7'3 Heavy power, fast action, rated for 1/4 to 2 oz. lure weights. I've had a couple Okuma rods and they've been pretty decent. Would you say this would be a good match for the magdraft, although rated for a heavier bait as well? A great video (as you never disappoint), and I would much be interested in and grateful for a video on your coffee stirrer walk-through in rigging the 5.8' keitech fat through-line style.
Nearly all of the big names in bass fishing education say don't invest in a swimbait rod to throw a magdraft and dip your toes in the water. They pretty much all say toss it on your favorite jig rod and catch some fish. I'd be willing to say he only threw a higher rated rod here bc he already owned it. I've been using a St Crioix Victory Full Contact Finesse 7'4 H without feeling overwhelmed on both magdraft and s waver 168s
I have the same swim bait. One thing is stay away from gar. They will tear it up
What about smaller because i usually use 3in. And always struggle to get length on cast because of how light it is
Lighter line and lighter rod will help
Hey Ty, I’m about to fish this weekend in the coldest open water I’ve ever fished. Does anyone have good advice for cold water
Fishing in NH so it’s cold and inconsistent
Look for the comment by Bennie Maxwell. Tyler answers a similar questions. My advice is, search TH-cam for videos about winter bass.
I've been throwing mine on a 9:1 gear ratio I'm going to have to swap reels out
The thumbnail shows a top hook bait, which bait is that?
The same one I talk about in the video. Magdraft with a stinger treble hook
@@BassFishingHQ I can see it now thank you
@@BassFishingHQ do you ever just fish it as a took hook?
good video1 thanks
Whats a good swimbait rod thats not a dedicated swimbait rod?
I talk about it in the video
@@BassFishingHQ my bad i try to be the first and ask a question
I throw my 6" magdraft freestyle on a 7'2" heavy expride.
Success has 3 s’s
Can you give me some device? It cold in Michigan and I will be fishing all next week. My lake is barely 40. Any tips? I watch your videos all the time but this time I just want a little advice. I’m not that bad. Use a lot. Was just curious
It’s a 500 acre and I fish for largemouth in case I forgot to say
Hey Bennie! I know you watch my videos often and I appreciate it. Honestly I would think that you should be able to catch fish in a ned rig, a blade bait or a Jerkbait. I am assuming the water is fairly clear. Michigan lakes will have grass early, sometimes bass will move to those clumps quick and you can catch them on a Jerkbait. If the bass are relating to deeper rock, I would pick up a Ned rig or a blade bait. Drag the ned slowly and make small hops with the blade bait slowly
@@BassFishingHQ thank you for responding. I’m off work next week so I will let you know. And as always I will continue to watch your videos
The app is a data mining tool. You provide the data. Then the app owners sell it back to you. Worse, they sell your spots to someone else 😆 🤣 😂
The magdraft is a terrible swimbait. No action, burns out easy, and bottom rigged trebles are terrible. You don't need an expensive rod or reel for swimbaits. I've thrown heavy weights with many rod and reel setups and nothing has been better than my 6'6 Daiwa moderate/fast with a laguna 4500. I've pulled 30lb+ stingrays on top of of those weights and and never had an issue. With heavy swimbaits you want a MH rod with a fast/extra fast tip, something like a 85/15 or 90/10. The fast tip allows for better casts in tighter areas by storing more energy in the rod tip and a better feel for the bait in the water. If you want to do it cheap, get a Penn Fierce 3 for $60 right now and remove the automatic bail close mechanism under the spool. It's more than enough for any swimbait on the market.
Magdraft is not terrible. I’ll have to just agree to disagree with you on that one. Maybe you are fishing it too fast
What's the drop rate on a mega bait at
1 1/4 oz ....?
Idk what it actually is, but it’s pretty slow.
So if you need to throw it around 2-3 feet of water you can def do that. (Unless you have lots of grass)
Get video buddy
